Aug 5, 2009 Clear amber pour, off-white head. The nose is very hoppy, citrusy, with caramel and fruit. The flavor is grapefruit, caramel, light fruit. Wierd. this is more like an IPA than a BW. A very good IPA, but an IPA none the less. The finish is again a citrus hop bittering, residual fruity sweetness. Nice thick syrupy mouthfeel. VERY enjoyable beer, but not my favorite BW. I tend to like my barley wines to be darker, thicker, more fruity, less hoppy.

Aug 2, 2009 07 bottle release. Pours dark amber brown with a small brown head. Huge caramel, toffee, rum, raisin aroma. Smells thick and malty with a hop presence in the background. The flavor is big time fruity sweet with cherries, apricot, raisins, plums, chocolate, caramel, and toffee. The tartness of the beer sets in next with the cherry flavor taking the forefront. Then the piney bitter finish. Very thick body with powerful flavors that are all in harmony. This is a great barleywine. It’s why I love barleywines actually. The sweet and sour flavors complement eachother like in no other beer I’ve had.

Aug 1, 2009 2009 bottle from De Bierkoning. Deep amber, clear with a yellowish, creamy and lacing head. Complex hoppy aroma- at first just grapefruit, then more floral notes as well as the bready maltiness appears. Good bready and hoppy flavours, citrus, warming alcohol, caramel. Full-bodied. Complex and well-balanced in all its extremity. Wondeful.
