Apr 22, 2007 Draught at brewpub. Rotten banana aroma, which is all wrong for a barley wine. Clear dark amber with no visible carbonation. Off-white head. Excellent lace. No haziness or carbonation. Very nice color. Sweet, high alcohol. Not a barley wine. Totally missed the style. Threw sugar at it. More of a Belgian strong. A decent beer.

Apr 21, 2007 On tap at the brewpub 1/1/07: Pours a transparent copper mahogany with a ring of wispy off-white head. Aroma has some rich caramel and light fruity character. Body starts sweet and caramely malty, thinning slightly toward a warming finish. Not much hops, so I’m assuming this is an English-styled barleywine.

Apr 2, 2007 Draft at the brewpup. Aroma of sweet caramel, hops and malt. Sticky, almost cloying mouthfeel. Pours a reddish amber color with a nice sized white head. Nice lacing. Fore is some nutty malt notes, hops and toffee. Finish is very clean, no bitter hop bite. I liked this one a lot. Well done TBBC.

Feb 25, 2007 Draft. Pours a ruby red with not much head. Aroma is sweet with fruits and that normal Barley Wine smell. Medium bodied with quite a sweet flavor but not as overwhelming as most Barley Wines I’ve had. This one is pretty subtle but drinkable. Pretty good overall.

Feb 25, 2007 Draught at TBBC. Sweet caramel malts, surprisingly hoppy aroma for a barleywine. Very clear amber with steady, patchy white head and decent lacing. Very creamy palate.

Jan 20, 2007 Aroma is not very strong, but this barley wine is smooth and delicious. Really quite beautiful.
