It had a strong smell of grassy hops and flowers. The smell was thick and intense with some warm alcohol to build it up. It had a thick and heavy taste of caramell, hops and malt. High bitterness, very nice, a great beer! DWestrick (239), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA

Malty flavor, caramel, piney hops, creamy sweetness. Great lacing on the glass showing each sip taken. Rich, flavorful beer. Aftertaste is great. Well-balanced complex beer. Alcohol is more noticeable as the beer sits for awhile. I like this beer a lot. marcus (1869), Sacramento, California, USA

Aroma was really nice. Sweet with lots of juicy hops and malts. Citrus, caramel, molasses, honey and alcohol. Flavor has juicy hops balanced with cream and caramel and alcohol. Nice body and nice to drink. Pastor (509), Maine, USA

2008 bottle split three ways in tulip glasses. The bottled poured produced a finger worth of tan head that went to a thick lace. The body of the brew was a copper red in color.
A nicely oxidized nose, sweet toffee and honey as well in the aroma. The flavor was great no hotness at all from the better than 12%. Big caramel and toffee flavors filled my mouth; the year in the bottle did it some good. The carbonation was spot on just enough to keep it from being syrupy with a medium feel in my mouth.
Good sip ability on this brew. One glass is enough in a sitting but the glass goes down mighty fine. This is a good American barleywine, worth seeking out in my book

Had some a couple nights ago, thanks to "hannont". Colour... cloudy, amber-orange with an small ecru head. Nose... lots o’ hops, plenty o’ booze and fruity malts! Palate... plenty of C02 followed by hops out the wazzoo! Next, waves of candied citrus, Seville marmalade, sweet malt, cut grass, toffee, biscuits and an exceptionally loooooong finish!
