Jun 20, 2008 On tap at Redlight Redlight...Pours reddish brown w/ a slight tan head faded rather quick. The aromas were dark fruits (dates, figs, raisins), and the flavors were dominated by the sweetness you’d expect from said dark fruits. There was some spice thrown in midpalate, with that lasting sweet finish on the end. I noted as did dchmela that the BI was quite carbonated for a barleywine. Very smooth sipper...

Jun 15, 2008 My first experience with a barley wine. Supprisingly good kinda tasted like the wine at church, but better. A little sweet but well balanced. I think I will try some more barley wines.

Jun 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, sweet malt, and dark fruit. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness, slightly warm alcohol, and light carbonation. Very good.

Jun 13, 2008 On tap at redlight. Poured a deep amber color with a small off white head. The aroma is of sweet malts, caramel, dark fruits, and a boozy smell. The flavor is really sweet with caramel, brown sugar, and sweet malts dominating the taste buds. The alcohol was present throughout and added sweetness and warmth. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and almost syrupy that finished sweet with some alcohol warmth. A pretty good barley wine especially considering the abv.
