Sep 6, 2008 Tasting at PP Cbad, thanks to wetherel! Dense bright orange/amber hue, minimal head. Nose is caramel malts, molasses, light fruits, grass, booze. Taste is light caramel malts, rich sweet fruits, light grassy hops, finishes sweet and boozey. Thick texture with moderate carbonation. A nicely balanced barleywine that is a bid lacking in flavor for the style.

Sep 5, 2008 Like most Weyerbachers I’ve had, simple, straightforward, and overbearing. Malty and sweet, this is alcoholic to the point of medicine like their Raspberry IS, and worse, quite watery. Not very impressive.

Sep 1, 2008 Dark cloudy brown pour with a creamy head. Toffee, caramel, and molasses on the nose. Caramel malts and slightly hoppy. I bit too sweet and hot for my tastes

Aug 31, 2008 Pours dark ruddy brown with a finger thick, cream colored head. The nose is maple, toffee and a bit of alcohol. The flavor is much the same, with a bit more earthy influence in the mid to finish. This one is a bit sweet as described, so share it with a few others.

Aug 31, 2008 Bottle; amber with thin off-white head. I’ll admit to being a relative novice to barley wines, having probably only tried under 10 of them, most of them American-style. This was quite pleasant, I thought; a good balance of malt and hops. Had that concentrated barley wine flavor, but was not overly alcoholic and didn’t let the hops dominate. Nice stewed fruit flavors (figs, apricots, raisins, dates). Pleasant caramel and toffee malt as well, and a creamy aftertaste. Would like to age a bit to see the evolution of this one.

Aug 27, 2008 12 oz bottle with Paul. Treid this right afte Old Crusty which might ahve affected my take on it. Pour was carmel amber with a very small head. Warm fell right off the bat with malty carmel and fruit notes. Lots of alcohol warmth as expected. Nice BW that I would try again.

Aug 24, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber color with a small off white head. Heavy malt aroma with caramel and alcohol. Smooth, warm palate with low carbonation. Taste is dark fruits, figs, raisins, dates, plums and cherrys. Also, sugars, caramel and of coarse, alcoholl. This brew is a heavy hitter.

Aug 21, 2008 Not likeing the aroma that much for a barleywine. No molasses. this is sweet but not too much. A great smooth finish. Pretty good.
