Bottle at Noogfest 08 thanks to Beerguy101. Pours brown with a white head. Aroma of wood, spices, and caramel. There is a malt backbone of caramel and dark fruits, but is overpowered by a woody spiciness and bitterness that distracts. No much residual sweetness on this one. I also get some green apple and butteriness on the finish. Perhaps this bottle was a little off?

Aug 18, 2008 RBSG ’08: Poured a hazed dark amber color with an off-white head. Toffee and milk chocolate aroma. The flavor was of roasted malt and chocolate. Mild warmth. Smooth mouthfeel with a light carbonation.

Jun 8, 2008 Noogfest ’08, thanks beerguy101. The body was ruddy light brown. The aroma was sweet pancakes and caramel. The taste was sweet pancakes and caramel. There was also a little bit of burned character, but it wasn’t too distracting.

Jun 8, 2008 Tap at pub. A wonderful example of the barley wine or old ale style. Pours with a ncie copper color with a samllish head. Great aromas of wood, leather and tobacco smoke, like siting in an old English pub. Alcohol is more prominent on the palate, together with caramel and more woodsiness. Very nice.
