Pours a hazy amber brown with a half finger head. Scent came off like prunes and grapes. Good body and flavorful beer, sweet/syrupy, plum/prunes, with a pleasant and slightly biitter finish. A very fine barley wine.

Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours cola brown with an off-white head. Nose is boozy, malty maple and candy sugar. Flavor is lots of sweetness, malt, maple, vanilla, and whiskey. Boozy from start to finish. Very enjoyable Old Ale.

12 oz bottle. Another Bells since they came to town. Pours a brown with hints of red and a finger high off-white head. Smells of caramel, dried fruit, a little citrus, and hints of alcohol. Tastes of caramel (quite potent actually), some sweetness, malt, and a bit of alcohol. Full-bodied feel with a strong taste and bite of alcohol. Overall a good barley wine, not as good as FFF Behemoth, but still quite good.

Pours a very murky old bronze with a 3 finger fluffy almond head that has o.k. retention and leaves specks of lacing. Aroma is caramel, earth, fruitcake, plum, alcohol and a little citrus. Flavor is licorice, caramel, some berry tartness, buttery pie crust, musty earth and wood notes, grapefruit, lots of spicy hops and some bitter hops and mellow earth to finish, I think I would like thes better if the hops were mellowed a bit as they seems to clash, some aging may help. Palate is medium, sticky, kind of syrupy and a bit overcarbonated.

12oz bottle. Pours amber with the most minimal white head. Aroma is of malt, spice, alcohol, caramel, and dark fruit. Taste is of caramel, spice, malt, alcohol, bread, and citrus. Big alcohol presence, and a nice lingering alcohol effect. Body is very carbonated and light. Mouthfeel is light, yet very sticky. Kind of a dissapointment.
