THANK GOD! If I was anywhere else I would have been in trouble! Very strong in both alcohol content and sweet flavor. Lingers in the mouth and becomes more appealing with every sip. Definitely can put you to sleep on the Old Mattress, as my girlfriend refers to it. Outstanding.

I would say it was one of my favorite Barley wines I have ever tasted. Very smooth and a hint of fruitiness in there somewhere. ajm (945), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 18, 2008 I was floored by this. It’s been in and out of my fridge from roommates and visitors but never sat down and tried it till tonight. Bottle from Lone Hill. The aroma is very full, caramelized, roasty. The flavors, though, shapeshift and dance like it’s three beers at once! Melon, butter, dark raisins, wood, smoke, age and goodness. Man, what a complex, delightful, smooth-drinking beer.

Probably my favorite Victory beer. Fruity, smooth, sweet but not as much as some barley wines. Overall a great find. I’ll have it again and again. MrChopin (649), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

It smells like a hoppy spring morning mixed with toast, loads of burnt sugar, and slight alcohol and caramel. The flavor starts of with bitter hops, but continues with alcohol and huge malts, dark fruit, and alcohol as it warms. This is a fantastic barley wine, both times I’ve had this.

Pours a nice darker amber color with a nice off-white head. Aroma is very malty, hints of carmel and maybe fruit. Taste is very sweet and malty, with only a slightly alcohol taste left afterwards. Boooyeta.
