Feb 1, 2005 Slightly hazy orange. Orangish ead. Dusty citrus nose - malt, chocolate toffee, alcohol. Even at a year old the alcohol is a bit overbearing. Behind that lays topffee, citrus, tobacco, fruit. Long lasting bitter orange rind finish. Probably shouls have sat for a year longer.. but waiting sucks.

Apr 1, 2008 22 ounce bottle from Brad. 08 vintage. Hazy amber orange color, with an off white head, and plenty of lace. What a giant grapefruit bomb. In the nose and flavor. And bitter as hell too. Tasty though. A bit of candy sweetness up front. Medium body with medium carbonation. Balanced finish. I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve had this. I need to start getting this for the cellar.

Apr 26, 2006 Bottle 2006. Pours a deep amber with a small off-white head that quickly fades. Aroma is loads of sweet caramels, cookie dough and toffee, tons of pine and a heathy dose of alcohol. The flavor is very sweet and very bitter, lots of piney hops and caramel. Very warm and bitter finish. Mouthfeel is big and chewy.

Oct 16, 2004 Bottle. Amber color. Head is slow to form but musters up to make a small white head that diminishes to an edge ring. Decent lacing. Big sweet malt nose. Caramel aromas. Smooth mouthfeel, medium to full bodied. Very malty up front with a decent hop finish. Caramel seems to predominate the initial flavors. Very drinkable for being bottled in August.

Apr 23, 2006 22oz bottle. Clear and ruby hue. Minimal white head. Sweet cinnamon nose. Syrupy. Full and lively. Smokey and dry with a slight alcohol nose. Flavors or notes of port, chocolate/cocoa, caramel, spices, piney hops and prunes. Sticky sweet with a cola like flavor and palate. Malt notes are sweet and pruny. Hops develope a citrus note to the finish. Fantastic! Prime example of a Barley Wine. Caramel sticky sweet with a ton of fruity notes.

May 1, 2006 Spring 2006 bottle. Slightly hazy orange body, head is well retained, thin with small bubbles. Strong WC hop aroma, lots of citrus, pine, resin, sweetness and alcohol noticable. Taste is lively hops, balanced sweet malts, alcohol well masked. Malts are pretty sweet but balanced for a barleywine, some caramel flavor in there, slightly buttery. Body is very soft and approachable, but probably a little thin for the style. Solid stuff.

Feb 14, 2004 A great copper amber clear color. A nice mode white head. A very strong licorice aroma, sweet and strawberry. very nice indeed. A very bitter hoppy feel, deep roots of trees are there. Very, very hoppy. I like it, its a solid deep body without the natural licorice comparison, i like it, cause it stand on its own two feet. Alot of hopps, but a sick ass background to back it up.
