Sep 26, 2007 Dark purple pour, small white head. Aroma is dark berries. Flavor is caramel, berries, chocolate, and a touch of roasted malt. Caramel lingers in the aftertatse bigtime. Lots of fresh leafy hops but low on bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel with some smoke in the finish as well.

Mar 31, 2007 The light shining through my Duvel glass reveals a wonderfully rich ruby color, clear as the cloudless morning. What a great way to start a Saturday. Backburner tastes rich and malty, without the standard issue young barleywine harsh hoppiness. Very smooth for a fresh BW. The aroma is slightly roasted with an underlying character of dark fruits. Should be interesting to sample as it ages.

Aug 1, 2007 Pours to a viscous mahogany brown body with a creamy tall beige head and awesome lacing. The aroma is hoppy with citrus and has a dusty graininess to it. The hops vanish in the aroma soon after the pour. The flavor is grainy alcoholic malts with a nice creamy toffee and nougat. More old-ale-ish than a barleywine. The palate is medium bodied and creamy. Light bitterness. Flavor has pine resin to it.

May 7, 2007 Courtesy boboski. Dark amber/ruby. Small dense, tan head. Aroma is floral, vegetal, caramel/toffee, berries, resinous hops. Similar flavor- less vegetal, more resinous, piney hops, sweet caramel/toffee malt, florals, a bit of dark dried fruit showing up as it warms, subtle alcohol in the finish. Full body, balanced carbonation, lightly syrupy. Very good, drinkable.

Jul 6, 2007 Cloudy redish-mahogany body topped by a long-lasting beige head. Rather fruity on the nose with dark grapes, citrus fruits and why not some kiwis. Taste is basic but effective basic very sweet malts balanced by a generous dosage of leafy citrusy hops. Sticky body and alcohol well hidden. I also had this floral aroma and taste all along I drank my glass that I’d describe as “tulip-ish”. A very good beer but this is one of the rare beer that would benefit from a little aging. Next bottle I get I’ll let it stand there for a while before opening it, I’ll put it on the back burner, how ironic.

Jan 13, 2008 Bottle sampled at stevo’s. Pours dark copper with thin beige head. The aroma is sticky caramel and resinous hops. The flavor is maple, caramel, and sticky pine. Plenty of hop flavor without harsh bitterness. Smooth and dangerous.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Pours a clear amber with a one finger light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of caramel, spicy hops, and sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Not the best from Southern Tier but still a solid brew.
