Aug 16, 2008 Not sure if the bottle was bad. The aroma was inviting. Sugars, appleskin, chocolate and spices. The first few sips were of un-sweetened chocolate. Then I was so dissapointed there was nothing more than dull chocolate water, so I poured it down the drain. I am a barley-wine lover, and this made me sad.

Aug 15, 2008 Updated: Sep 7, 2008Very nice, but just seems too bracing to really enjoy. Overly strong in every sense of the world...a true sipper

Aug 12, 2008 A delicious barleywine by a brewery that has yet to let me down. Lots of caramel, brown sugar, hop and honey goo-ness, er, goodness. Perfect carbonation and viscosity on the palate couples with soulful esophageal booze-burn rather satisfyingly, sip after sip. Not the best barleywine ever, but definitely one of the better ones out there. Very enjoyable overall. Thanks Speakeasy.

Aug 9, 2008 Poured a dark amber with a white head. Aroma was typical barleywine, lots of malts basically. Flavor was much the same very malty, not much hops, but hid the alcohol very well.

Jul 4, 2008 12 oz bottle from Bevmo. Pours a translucent amber-brown color with a beige head that left ample lacing. The aroma is big with malted barley, caramel, toffee, and biter walnuts. The flavor showed biter hops, raisins, dates and sweet barley malt. The mouthfeel is smooth and malty. The finish is long with lingering barley. Overall--a barley wine for barley wine fans. All others beware.

Jun 30, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo! Mission Valley. Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, lightly-lacing, off-white head. Aroma of complex sweet caramel and some fresh citrusy hops. Body starts sweet and caramely malty with a touch of grapefruity bitterness and toasted toffee. Finishes slightly warming and astringent. Has a decent balance of sweet malt and fresh hops.
