| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 2, 2009 Pours slightly hazed off-amber color with off-white head. Nose is rich with peach pit, overripe grapefruit, and caramel. Palate offers more caramel and toffee, with soft "chalky" hop bitterness towards the end. Slow drinking, and perhaps could benefit enormously with more age. pumpmaster (476), Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA

Vintage 2009.
Yep, this is my kind of Barley Wine.
Orangy without head.
Malts and loads of hops with only a little sweetnes making it more bitter than most.
Creamy, bitter and long aftertaste. This is really good barley wine, and a reason for drinking the American kind.
Brought home from New York. angrypirate06 (706), Texas, USA

A thin beige, fine-laced head resting on deep golden to pale amber colored body. Strong caramellish malt aroma. Some fruity and grassy hops and a whiff of alcohol. Rich malt body, medium sweet with a quite heavy hop bitterness. Earth, fruit and grass. Feels a bit rough on the palate, yet nicely balanced. Finishes with a long, kind of peppery bitterness. A potent sipper!
