Jan 26, 2007 2006 bottle; Nose is dark fruit, caramel, and some woodiness; hazy dark walnut with very little head; flavor shows caramel malts, dark fruits, bourbon, vanilla, and some alcohol (pretty well covered though), with some mild hop bitterness showing at the end.

Jan 16, 2007 Updated: May 6, 2007Hazy dark orange pour with brown hues. Lasting head of cream color, then decent retention. Aroma is dry fruits, notably grapefruit, with enough noticeable malt to make it appealing, definitely still in the new school of American barleywines. Flavor is very hoppy but quaffable. Malt is lingering and roasty, additions of cookies and sweet toffee. Nice subtle and long finish. Tasty.

Dec 7, 2006 (Bottle 50 cl) Hazy and opaque reddish brown almost without any head. - not your typical Barley Wine look. Odd, unclean aroma - some dried fruit perhaps. Quite full-bodied with accents of roasted malt and dried fruit - perhaps some plums. A bitter finish. Quite inharmonious. 011206
