| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 14, 2006 bottle. Attractive dark cloudy brown with a thin, white head. The aroma displays plenty of alcohol, dense caramel, and bready, fresh-barley notes. Mildly dense mouthfeel with a palate full of sweet, though not cloying, caramel. The bitterness comes across in a grassy fashion and mixes well with the tame alcohol burn. Faint burboun notes ring throughtout. Solid effort. Certainly a manly brew. oldrtybastrd (1801), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA

The flavor has a strong malty flavor with a spicey hop balance that finishes with an alcohol and fruit flavor. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 26, 2006 12 oz bottle-pours fire red with a redish-kacki tinged head. aromas of cinnamon, fussel alcohol, very light aging and some apples. wow, now thats one harsh palate-alcohol soaked-dark fruit with some rubbing-alcohol kick. man, this is awful! Over the top alcohol all the way through even after it warmed considerably. I had to dump this. no balance and very unpleasant. nolankowal (851), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 24, 2006 Many thanks to JHop for this one. Pours an opaque burnt orange/brown color with a yellowish-light tan head that rapidly turns to a super fine film over the top. Super sweet caramel malt fills the aroma along with some rasin and perhaps some tabacco. Getting tons of caramel malt in the flavor too along with dark fruits, alcohol, and maybe some honey with a touch of lemon zest. Big and malty over the tounge...sweet for the most part with a dry sourness creeping up into and through the finish. Full bodied and pretty nice barley wine though it could use a bit more balance in the flavor department...the alcohol seems to come out a bit too much and muddles the finsih.
