Apr 1, 2004 This is a great Barley Wine. Hard to tell its got 11% alcohol. Hops show up well in taste and smell. This stuff is pretty to easy to drink and will hit you upside the head if you don't watch out. I reccomend drinking it at home.

Dec 22, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. An ultimate barleywine. Awesome in every way. Like an alcoholic plum injected with hops. This barleywine kicks some serious ass.

Jul 7, 2008 A great barley wine from one of my favorite breweries. This one is easy to drink but at 10.5% watch out. A few of these and you’ll be feeling good.

Jul 30, 2008 One of my all-time favs. Dark luscious caramel color. The aroma consists of a wild combination of nearly every fruit found in the western hemisphere. Going down, it is seductively sticky. The array of sweet fruits becomes apparent and the alcohol performs its warming effect. At about that time, it becomes obvious that this is an excellent barley wine. Not at all overpowering, but not for the weak. Really glad I stocked up on this one last spring!

Nov 20, 2008 Pours a dark mahogany color with a bit of a beige head.
Smells of bready caramel and a hint of dark fruit.
The taste is originally caramel and very malty. The alcohol then comes in and balances out the maltyness. There is a slight hint of fruit, but it is not substantial. A caramelized malt taste in the finish raps this one up.
The mouthfeel is rather hefty and syrupy but not unpleasant. Carbonation is done well.
This is definitely a sipper. I couldn’t put this one down too quickly, which is a good thing. The 11% is hidden rather well and took me by surprise about half way through since I was so eager to finish the glass. Another excellent Victory brew.

Oct 30, 2009 Bottle pours amber brown with a thin white head. Aroma is heavy on malts, caramel, raisin, and cherry. Taste is caramel sweetness initially but finishes with a nice floral hop bitterness and a roasted malt flavor. Body is medium-heavy. Flavors are balanced incredibly well, Well done!

Jun 1, 2009 Like many of the barleywines, the sweet malty aroma is abundant. However, the victory signature is apparent in the quality of the finish. Very smooth and a wonderful taste in a cool setting.
