Commercial Description:
Luxuriously rich in character, this warming winter ale delivers over 10% alcohol in an oh-so-seductive manner. Deliciously fruity flavors lie under a bracing hop nose.

Nice warmer, lots of malt, caramelize brown sugar, presentable hops with the necessary ABV for a Barley wine

Aroma is cardboard oxidation, sweet sugar, and faded hops. Taste is earthy, piny hops, a bit of cardboard, caramel malt, and bitterness. Yum. 2 year old Old Horizontal. Very solid. Finish is subdued, but slightly bitter.

Barley wine très riche. Cuivrée-brune, elle offre des arômes de malt et d’houblon, ainsi que de fraises. Alcool au palais, avec une belle combinaison de malt-houblon en bouche. Finale de confiture aux fraises et d’alcool. Bonne bière complexe et intéressante a boire.

12oz bottle into a snifter. Aroma is metal, dust, and sweet. Flavor is huge sweet with a touch of alcohol and significant hoppage. Not bad, but I didn’t think it was as good as some American barley wines.

Bottle. Pour was golden/copper with a light head. Aroma was sweet malt, with spice and a light fruit bouquet. Body was full with a little more spice and fruit complexities. The brew was good but could have used a little more depth overall. Still a fine brew.

Beautiful brown color with a lasting white foam. Nose is caramel, malt, and toasted wood. On the palate I get burnt caramel and woody flavors.

Draft sampler at Bully’s Restaurant & Pub, Columbia, PA...deep reddish-amber color, no head by the time I got it (tan?)...aroma of dark fruits, brown sugar, slight hops...flavor includes much of the same, some alcohol...smooth, warming...good slow sipper.

Pours a darker brown with almost no head. On the nose I am geting caramel, an alcohol sweetness, slight malts there and subtle nuance of toffee there. I also smell some candied sugars there as well. Full bodied. On the palate I am getting sweet alcohol there first, caramel hardcore, butterscotch as well. Delicious! Get this beer.
