Dec 15, 2009 Vibrant orange yellow beer; light head. A nice balance of malt and hops. Could stand a little more body. Unfortunately, my notes are a little sparse since this was the fifth +10%abv beer of the evening for us.

Dec 4, 2009 2005 bottle. Well carbonated dark amber. Thin head. Aroma of alcohol and wheat wine; fruit coctail, cheese, wine and alcohol. Lots of fruit in the flavour and a bit sour. Intriguing. Fruit salad and vodka! Mandarin orange with a hint of vinegar in the finish.

Oct 26, 2009 Bottle ( 500ml ). Shared with blankboy, garthicus, gregclow, jerc and mabel - my bottle. Hazy orange pour with a large lasting creamy/frothy off-white head, some floaties. Unique aroma - and this at the end of a tasting! - alcohol, pungent green fruit (mango?) - with latex paint and nectarines; somewhat floral. Taste was very, very appealing - juicy, floral, medium+ alcohol - like a barleywine, but less bitter, quite a different malt profile too. Light and airily lively mouthfeel, not too strong, but lets you know its ABV is no joke - lively and fruity, and very very good - I want to try this again one day. 2006 Vintage bottle.

Oct 25, 2009 2008 Vintage:
Cloudy golden coloured body with a light copper tint and a nice sized tan head. Aroma of pit fruits, spice, wheat, bubble gum, oak and a good amount of malt. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong alcohol flavours with a good pit fruit taste coupled with wheat and a touch of hops too. Aftertaste shows a potent taste, but the alcohol leaves the palate warm and dry - the sugars come through at the very end rather nicely. Overall, a good barley wine and definitely a treat to sample. I sampled this 37.5 cL (split) bottle purchased at Half Time in Poughkeepsie, New York on 11-June-2009 sampled in Washington on 17-October-2009.
