Start by saying I like the style...2007... Clear persimmon orange hue wtih diminishing light tan head, no lacing, smells hoppy + sweel + strong alcohol and tangerine, citrus tanerine tang flavor but a little more dry,classic stone almost over hoppy, nice and bold, lots of barly, is this wine? Good for stone always gets a grade between B to A!!! Plus its great, last 4 ratings are from PA.

Sep 29, 2008 2008 Bottle – Pours a bright orange/red that is rather cloudy. Smells of fruits, malts and hops. First sip is surprisingly light, creamy, and fruity. The hops are huge, even borderline sticky but not biting or overpowering. Finishes with a strong alcohol presence and a sharp bitterness. Great mouthfeel and a great Barley Wine.

Sep 21, 2008 2008 bottle. Clear, light copper. Nose of toffee and other malty sweetness and that hoppy aroma that I love from Stone. The taste is a balanced explosion... Syrupy sweet malt giving way to pine/citrus hops. Full bodied, oily/syrupy thick. Great beer.
