Jan 8, 2009 Been sitting on this one since the beginning of the year. When I first popped the cap I could smell the sweet malts. Pours a nice orange golden amber color, nice creamy tan head, nice lacing/puddles throughout the drink. Scents of sweet malts, citrus, hops, spices, caramel, yeast, and slight alcohol. The taste is amazing, sweet malts, hoppy, slight caramel, and slight alcohol, nice dry finish. Medium body, pretty complex barleywine. Very drinkable, another awesome brew from Stone to say the least.

Jan 7, 2009 <b>Bottle 66cl.</b>
Unclear light to medium orange amber color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, caramel old malt, tobac, moderate alcohol. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long to average duration, and a spicy - peppery maybe alcoholic finish on your lips. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [260908]

Jan 6, 2009 Bottle 2008 - Pours dark brown with a mostly maintained tan head. Aroma of mango and citric hops, pine resins, and caramelized malt. Taste is sweet and hoppy with notes of caramelized wort, toffee, plums, and dark fruit. Mouthfeel is full bodied and resinous with soft carbonation. A good beer, but needs to be laid down for a few years.

Jan 4, 2009 Bomber. Rather antiseptic with hints of rubber bands. Alcohol isnt hidden at all. I expect this from Stone. About halfway through it isnt too bad with notes of dark fruit, hops and malt.I bought two, and Im thinking that aging will do this one wonders.

Dec 27, 2008 Bottle, 2008. Aroma of prunes, plums, raisins, rich malt, vanilla, alcohol. Flavor brings no surprises. Still a monster nearly a year into its life, and the malt could certainly develop (and eventually overtake the alcohol that remains) for quite a while longer. Although I dont believe this beer has reached its peak, still not bad at all right now.
