| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 11, 2009 <i>Tasting at Papsoe, corked bottle</i> Hazy red-amber color. The aroma is light, it has a strong caramel flavor, some residual sweetness, strong nutty character, strong bitterness; strong but not interesting for me, not even a Barley Wine IMO. fishingnet (1045), Brandon, Florida, USA

Pours orange with some nice golden/ light yellow lacing.
Aroma is loaded with grains and caramel malts.
Taste, more on the hop side while the malts remain at the forefront.
A really amazing barleywine, over 10.1% so yeah, we have a real treat. Ibrew2or3 (2766), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2008 Huge thanks to tbd975 again. Greg you are amazing bringing this triple threat beer to the tasting, new state, barleywine tick and big beer tick. YES. Pours clear copper with gold edges and near tan thin ring of foam. The aroma has light amounts of crystal malts to go along with raisins, prunes and a bit of chemical alcohol heat. The taste has some thick maltiness moving into moderate dark fruity esters. Midway and to the finish caramel goodness and bits of vague hop bitterness rise up to be heard. There is just a mild sense of the big ABV. Nice. Will certainly shine with some more age.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with spicy notes, and so is the flavor. Thanks Papsoe for sharing. beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 19, 2008 From the bottle pours medium amber with a small white head. Slightly oxidized flavor to it, not overly distracting, but made the body feel thinner. Hot with alcohol, faint cocoa flavor and lingering caramel in the finish.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 18, 2008 (Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of pepsican. Pours a slightly hazy amber golden with a tall and lively dense yellowish head leaving laces. Spicy, fruity and vanilla-like aroma. Quite full-bodied, fruity and vanilla-like with a very solid and distinct bitterness. 311008
