May 25, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of kiefdog. Pours copper color with a fazzy tan head. Nose is caramel, some berry notes, brown sugar, fruit, and some floral hops. Flavor is fizzy caramel, whiskey, hops, and lingering sweetness in this medium-bodied barleywine. Moderately fizzy, and enjoyable.

May 15, 2009 This reddish copper beer poured with a modest beige head and a fantastic caramel aroma. The flavor is toffee and raisin with some subtle hopping. Overall, very balance and flavorful.

May 14, 2009 Bottle: cellared 1.5 yrs.
Decants a reddish brown lightly gazed, small sticky cap leaves quickly.
Aromas of musty citrus and toffee.
After more than a year in cold cellaring the hops are not a sharp as a fresh sample but still have a solid citrus-peel presence but the vinous complexity of the malts and esters comes up...wonderful complexity that defies description as it changes every sip as the ale warms.
One of the best micro barley wines....hoppy, complex,.heady without the alcoholic burn to the tongue.

May 12, 2009 So glad I picked this up last night. Pours a semi hazey copper colour with a small offwhite head that quickly dissipates. Zero lacing, but lots of bubbles. Aroma is noticeably pungent with choke hold on my nose. Slamma Jamma prunes, ginger and cherry cough syrup. A mouthfeel like a pillows insides. Fluffy, light and delightfully creamy. Taste has this chewiness to it with bubbles, caramel and some tart fruit. cranberry perhaps. Awesome!

May 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma is strong of sweet malts, caramel, and dark fruits. Notes of bread, grapes, citrus, and hops also come out. Flavor is strong of malts and alcohol. In the finish, I detect hops, but the finish is very dry. The alcohol burn follows the beer all the way down. Not the best barley wine I have had, but worth checking out.

May 6, 2009 Hazy amber colour with a light brown head. Malty aroma with a caramel sweetness, a light hoppyness and hints of alcohol. Malty, light burnt, some fruity notes and a nice hoppy, light citric and bitter finish.
