Mar 19, 2009 12 oz bottle from Market of Choice. Deep mahogany pour with a nice tan head that fades fast. Nice bready aroma with dark fruit and a bit of booze at the end. Flavor is heavy on malt with a nice roasty tint to it and some plum and nut, also a very pleasant and not cloying alcohol burn. Masks its alcohol extremely well.

Mar 19, 2009 Updated: Mar 23, 2009A beautiful dark red-amber beer with a small tan head leaving a little lace. The aroma is a sweet caramel malt, strawberry and other fruit, with a bit of alcohol. The flavor is much the same, with some roast notes perhaps dark fruit, more alcohol heat. Some understated hop bitterness in the background. Ends with heat. Mouthfeel is deliciously chewy. A great BW.

Mar 17, 2009 Dégusté avec Agaguk et Pyrozoid. Apparence Orangé / Cuivré avec une TRES belle mousse beige, épaisse qui colle super bien au verre. Aromes de gomme balloune, caramel, fraises, alcool... encore tres houblonné... complexe. Wow! 2 barleywine de suite avec un palait quasi-parfait. Equilibre parfait pour le sucré et l’amertume... meme que l’amertume est un peu plus prononcé du surement a l’usage de houblon extreme. Corps crémeux et vélouté finition huileuse un peu. Sensation d’alcool plus présente. Gout de cuire, gateau au fruits, vanille, caramel... Biere un peu plus complexe que son prédécesseur (Brooklyn Monster Ale).

Mar 17, 2009 Bouteille. Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Bière de couleur cuivré claire avec un immense collet moyennement collant. Odeur de gomme aux raisins, épinette, un peu le sucre, sel de sellerie et un peu le sirop d’érable. Saveur de cerises, sucre, épices, bonne carbonations.

Mar 17, 2009 It poured a nice reddish amber color. The head was very light to nonexistent. The beer was very tasty for the ABV. It had a nice hop taste up front with sweety malty aftertaste. It was one of the best Barleywines I have tried.

Mar 17, 2009 Pours clear, medium amber-brown, with a thin beige head, some lacing. Rich aroma of bread dough, with subtle hay and berry notes. Medium, crisp body. Lots of caramel malt flavor with some fruity flavors, with a big bitter aftertaste, hay and pine. Fairly well-balanced, but, unusual for a barleywine, it’s on the pleasingly bitter side.
