Not terribly interesting. Caramel aroma and flavor. Some citrus in the flavor.

On tap at Hard Liver Barleywine Festival 09, Brouwer’s Cafe. Crystal clear, somewhat rubied medium amber. Dense creamy tan head. Caramelly nose, a little boozy. Creamy medium body. Caramel, doughy malts, tangy oranges on the mid-palate.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a receding off white head. Aroma is sweet candy, dark fruits and alcohol. Flavor is caramel, dark fruits ( dates and figs), with powerful hop background. Smooth, warm palate with a lingering burning finish. A sipper for sure. Very good.

On tap at Brouwer’s Hard Liver 09. Pours a crystal clear copper color, with a mostly malty nose, and a thick, dense, retentive head. Artificial fruits on the nose - seriously like a watermelon Jolly Rancher. Nice and hoppy, especially in the flavor, countered more with fruit than with malts or alcohol. Effervescent - really good stuff. I could certainly have a bigger glass of this.

A good brew. Very little head on it, but dark brown. A good barley wine, strong alcohol percentage. Taste of caramel and hops is strong and sweet. A good brew.

Bottle. Hazy amber color with a thin broken light tan head. Heavy malts, some alcohol, mild earthy hops, not a notable aroma. Taste is pretty hot up front, hoppier tasting than it smells, bitter finish. Decent taste, aroma is underwhelming. Rough around the edges.

2006 vintage bottle at Naja’s Place. Pours clear amber with almost no head. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, nutty, toffee), heavy hops (perfume, flowers, pine), average yeast (dough) with notes of alcohol, pear, apple, and date. Full bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a spicy-dry finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
