Sep 17, 2006 Bottle. Dark golden in colour with a medium sized head. Malty and sweet with notes of dark fruits, caramel and grass. Hints of cherry (or berries of some sort) and also a bit alcoholic.

Jun 7, 2005 bottle. copper body with a small white head. malty, yeasty cheese, and citrus hop aroma. this is a pretty hefty beer and is my first barley wine of the fest (actually, as I’m entering this rating it may have been the only barley wine I had). bold malty body, sweet in the middle...hoppy throughout and pretty much just the right amount of hops. some cheese and chocolate notes. very nice.

Dec 1, 2003 The taste I had was from a bottle aged for two years. Very malty. Lop in hop flavor, its more malt. Enjoyable.

Jan 14, 2002 Updated: Apr 28, 2007Hot, lacks depth, prickly mouthfeel, overt fruitiness. This has undeniably suffered in quality over the past few years.

Aug 22, 2000 When most American breweries aggressively
hop their barleywines, Victory has stepped
in with a nice malty traditional British
style barleywine. Intensely rich, sweet,
and alcoholic, yet immensely drinkable, this is
a great barleywine that should age especially well.
Smells almost of sherry or madeira.

Jun 22, 2003 Updated: Sep 29, 2006Deep amber colour. Aroma is of hops, caramel and alcohol. Flavour is very smooth, toffee, caramel and warming. Finishes with a nice warming alcohol bitterness. Thanks ciderguy.

Feb 17, 2007 Pours crimson bronze with a tan bubbly head. The aroma has heavily toasted malt with some dark fruits, 7-up like character, some abv warmth, light anise and other spices. Medium / full body with a good amoutn of unobtrusive spritzy carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of woody / earthy hops with a big ol’ malt backbone - it is fairly harsh, but not really in a bad way. The finish adds some spice, but the woody hops still take center stage. Very nicely done, but not something I would want as a frequently consumed beer.
