Feb 8, 2008 Bottle marked - Enjoy by: Dec 29 11. Pours a cloudy brown color with orange highlights. Thin, off-white head that fades pretty quick and leaves no lace. Spicy hops hit you right in the nose, with lots of malt in the background. Hop and malt flavors mix together nicely for a classic BW. Hops are spicy, malts are fruity and ripe. Alcohol on the finish. Thick with nice carbonation. Good, classic barleywine. The kind of BW though that you can’t make a session out of.

Feb 7, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours hazy dark ruby orange with large orange-beige head. The aroma is spicy alcohol, some pine, some toast, and a little bit of toffee. The flavor is pleasantly hoppy with pine right off the bat, then toast and alcohol. Ample bitterness stays throughout the mouth, with a leathery malt backbone. The finish is dry, slightly tannic. Lingering, bitter aftertaste. Good, but overrated.

Feb 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a small light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of pine hops, sweet caramel, sweet malt, dark fruit, and alcohol. Taste is the same as aroma. Full mouthfeel with a moderate to strong amount of bitterness and warm smooth alcohol. Very well balanced and very good.

Feb 6, 2008 Bottle. Smooth pour with a delightful ruby-amber color, and a very light cream head which is slow to dissipate. Initial hop kick gets delightful upon second taste. None too discernible aroma. Warm alcohol finish, thanks to the ABV. Darn good.

Feb 6, 2008 One of the sweetest barleywines I’ve ever had. Beautiful rust coloration in the glass and smells extremely sweet and fruity as well as malty. Very good dark fruit sweetness mixed with malt and maybe a touch of hops make this a pleasure to drink. Little boozy on the finish but still a really good one. Got another bottle that I think I will let age a while longer.

Feb 4, 2008 12 oz bottle courtesy of radiomgb. (Purchased 06/30/06). Cloudy amber-orange with a lot of sediment. Orange-brown head fades quickly to a ring. The aroma contains American hops, alcohol, and malt, in that order. (In that odour?) Nice. There are a tonne of hops in the flavour, as well, but there is a strong enough malt backbone to keep the hops from being overwhelming. The combination brings out some nice sweet citrus, caramel, and just a bit of pine and licorice. Thick, creamy, full body. Aptly named.
