Pours dark amber with a small white head. Smells of coffe and strongly of caramel and barley. Taste is a smooth barley sweetness with some caramel and coffeee notes, not as intense as some barleywines but nice. Despite being quite alcoholic there is no taste of alcohol and it’s quite easy to drink. Enjoyable beer, not ground breaking but quite nice.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle. Copper brown color with thick head, and lots of lacing and sheeting on the glass. Toffee aroma. Flavor dominated by toffee, with some tea and brandy notes. Strong alcohol presence warmed me up, but also threatened to dominate the brew. A bit on the strong side, but otherwise, good sipping brew.

Aug 29, 2008 Sean bought and opened this bottle at PP bottle shop. Thanks Sean! Really hoppy initial aroma. Amber color. Sweetish. A nice little bit of yeasty aroma. Pretty nice, but still young. Needs some age.

Aug 24, 2008 Shared by Frankenstein, pours a very clear ruddy brown with a thin cream colored head. Sweet caramel and dried fruit nose. The flavor is quite sweet and lots of caramel with a bit of a hot finish.

Aug 18, 2008 I’m becoming more accepting of super-sweet barley wines, but this one is still too sweet. Great hop-bill, and a good amount of complexity but still really sweet. Great color, but lacking head (ok within style). Apple notes are almost as strong as the hop flavor.
