Aug 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a rich amber color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is hoppy with caramel, fruit, light pine, and some citrus. Flavor is caramel malt, fruitness, warm alcohol and a hint of toffee with a medium bitter finish

Aug 18, 2008 Bottle. 2008 vintage. Pours a cloudy orange with a thin head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma of caramel malts and sharp alcohol. The flavor is caramel/toffee malts, with a sharp hop bitterness and alcohol bite. This beer does not have the complexity of malt flavors that is present in most other good barley wines. Good, but not great.

Aug 17, 2008 Yet another strong barleywine that features heavily in the alcohol department, and rather lightly in overall taste and complexity. I really don’t know how to judge these beers; they are simply not my type. It just gets to a point where if you want to drink something with that much alcohol, get a good bottle of red wine instead. These high alcohol levels are the domain of wine, not beer.

Aug 13, 2008 22oz bottle, Limited Early 2008 Release
Pours like motor oil, pleasing, sweet aroma that i rich and complex hops. Minimal head. A little spice, some alcohol kick and a slight hoppy finish. Excellent and that’s without cellering... I need to put one away for next year.

Aug 11, 2008 Early 2008 release. Pours a nice, mostly transparent red with a medium off white head. A nice aroma that is full of malt and some hops and honey. Lots of hops and some malt and got some honey on the taste too. Pretty good.

Aug 9, 2008 22oz bottle of the 2007 release. Floral hop aroma. Hazy orange in color with a foamy light yellow head that leaves a nice lace. Strong alcohol, piney, malty flavor. Bitter, dry mouth feel. Very good Barley Wine, one of the hoppier Barley Wines you’ll find. Ages very well, this 2007 might hits it’s peak in a few years still.

Aug 7, 2008 From tap. Pours hazy deep orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is dry breadish malty towards wet cardboard. Barley wine fruity too. Flavour is intense overripe fruity with a dry slight roasted malt base. Dense fruity and malty lingering finish with a solid dry and bitterhops flavour.

Aug 4, 2008 2004 Vintage. On tap at Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens. Pours dark-rich amber and opaque. Nice aroma of rich and complex hops. No real head. Flavor begins spicy and hoppy and finishes with a really nice sweet green apple lingering after taste. There is still a hint of alcohol, but it is subtle and very enjoyable.
