Mar 17, 2009 It poured a nice reddish amber color. The head was very light to nonexistent. The beer was very tasty for the ABV. It had a nice hop taste up front with sweety malty aftertaste. It was one of the best Barleywines I have tried.

Jun 18, 2007 12 oz bottle accidently purchased at South Bay drug. Nice amber reddish pour with little head that dissapated quickly. Aromas of fruits, flowers, and hops. Nice flavors of malts and hops balance out well with tastes of little alcohol. Very good, and a nice surprise.

The first time i had a barleywine was a SN Bigfoot. This one is quite a bit smoother. Pours a nice dark amber color. Nice thick head :unsure: . But the drinkability for 11% is freaking great. Just a solid brew. JTG, :hifuckingfive:

Jan 22, 2009 Bottle, pours a beautiful dark amber and mahogany with a small head. Aroma of vanilla, wood, esters, plum and moist soil. Palate is softly carbonated, and full-bodied flavor. Flavor is a delicious combination of dry chocolate, rich malt, hoppy fruit flavor, and hazelnut. This is extraordinary. Flavor is light/crisp enough to prevent being weighty, yet the flavor is so bold that Old Horizontal leaves a lasting impression. Finish lingers on a contemplative notes, with some back of the mouth dryness. Superb!

Feb 19, 2009 12oz bottle (07 version) pours medium brown with some red and orange with a sparse head. Big raisin, molasses, brown sugar and prunes. Slight dryness at the end, but ooooh so smooth. A bit of burn at the end. Brown sugar, caramel, slight coffee and candy sugars. Very nice.

Mar 19, 2009 Updated: Mar 23, 2009A beautiful dark red-amber beer with a small tan head leaving a little lace. The aroma is a sweet caramel malt, strawberry and other fruit, with a bit of alcohol. The flavor is much the same, with some roast notes perhaps dark fruit, more alcohol heat. Some understated hop bitterness in the background. Ends with heat. Mouthfeel is deliciously chewy. A great BW.

Jan 25, 2009 12oz. Vintage 1998. As i popped the cap, there was a "pifft" Pour is murky brown with little to no head. Aromas of raisins, sweet malt, caramel, and a hint of spice. Flavor is f%$#ing smooth and amazing. The hops have faded out completly. No alcohol is present and damn, what a treat.

Mar 9, 2008 Pours a beautiful dark amber/rust color with a thin yellow head that diminishes quickly.. Delicious fruity nose with hints of spice. Just slides over your tongue like a honey cream. Goes down very smoothly with powerful fruit and spice tastes. Leaves with a slight hop finish and a warmth in the stomach that pronounces the 11% ABV which would go unnoticed by taste alone. Fantastic beer!
