Huge sweet body, big flavors and high alcohol levels, this beer is best enjoyed by a raging fire.

Pours dark brown. Reminds a lot of grapefruit, but with a hint of some nice candylike sourness. Really tickles the senses!

I also think Uncle Steve procurred this for the guys. Shared with the Celticbrw himself, the Undaunting DrBayern, and Brian the Beer Pimp. Hoppy aroma. Pours dark copper color, with a head that lasts and holds nicely to the glass. The flavor is an easy hop flavoring . Easy to drink!

Sampled at Darkness Day and I forget which vintage...damn me...Anyways, pours a hazy red brown with little head. Aroma is very well balanced of citrus hops, caramel malts, and small sweet notes of alcohol. Flavor is bitter sweet. Palate is smooth, thick and lush...very solid beer. Barley wines are hit or miss and this definitely hits.

650 ml bottle. A reddish amber body with a fine off-white head. Aroma of heavy malt and lots of floral hops. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit some alcohol and quite bitter. Its complex and very balanced, lots of everything but nothing to overwhelming. Full body with a long, sweet and bitter finish, both citric and floral bitterness. Really nice.

bottle, 2007 vintage courtesy of Ughsmash, pours light brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is brown sugar and grapefruit and citrus hop notes. Flavor is nice and sweet with toasted malts, candy sugar and yeast and just a faint remnance of hops leaving a light bitterness. Nice and creamy, a great sipping beer.

2009 bottle picked up at DLD 09. Clear pumpkin/amber colored pour, almost no carbonation and a very rich malt, flowers and alcohol aroma. Flavor is syrupy caramelly malts, muddled herbs, and finished with lingering booze and hops. Barley Wines are generally hit or miss with me, but I really liked this one.
