Bottle... Poured dark orange with an off-white head. Aroma of alcohol and sugar sweetness. Solid barley wine. Very sweet and fruity plum and fig flavors with dark, barley-malt. Goes down easy for over 10%.

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.

Aug 17, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours deep amber to hazzlenut brown and golden with a lacing off-white head. Aroma is solid barley and woody aroma, mild hoppy pineneedle note, mild fruity note too. Flavour starts with a solid hoppy wooden flavour with an underlying liqourice note. Dense and barley flavoured. Bitter and mild spiced. Lingering hoppy and dry wooden finish with a mild liqourice note. Nice.
