The ABV is hidden rather well, and the palate is not dominated by either the alcohol of a bitterness but a small blend of both. And it helps that they served it to me in a trappist-style glass, and not a standard pint. amc3000 (46), houston, Texas, USA

I would love to see this cellared for a while.

Smells and looks great. The flavour is outstanding with a hint of caramel. It goes down smooth and leaves a wonderful after-taste. Highly recommend. BeerFanDan17 (625), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 1, 2009 Sampled at St Pete Creative Loafing Beerfest. Very tasty and hoppy but with a nice overall balance. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 20, 2003 Didn't expect much from a barleywine in a hot-weather town like Tampa, but was pleasantly surprised. Copper-gold color. Nose very hoppy, lots of pine and fruit, announces itself as part of the Bigfoot barleywine family pretty aggressively. Amazingly well-masked, no hint whatsoever of a nearly 10% abv. Nice and rich, very bready, with loads of piney and perfumed hops. wildchefbill (244), Sarasota, Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 1, 2004 Pours amber with a nice head. Aroma is strong with pine and fruit. Flavor was big. A little sweet with caramel. Finish was pine hops and alcohol. Mouthfeel was full. A nice brew. 1FastSTi (2575), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Tap at the brewery. Pours to a deep maple syrup colored body with a really long lasting creamy off-white with a yellowish tinge head. The flavor has a strawberry hop thing going on with a sweet barley flavor. Very smooth for a 10% beer. Malty and velvety. Rich. The aroma is much like the flavor in that the strawberries are there with a cereal grain. Very drinkable given the alcohol content. I’d end up in trouble if drinking full glasses of it. Long lingering sweetness. argo0 (6964), Washington DC, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 27, 2004 Clear amber body with creamy off-white head, nice lacing. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit, some berry, light caramel. Taste is sweet, berry, grapefruit, medium alcohol. Moderately full body, light acidity.
