Feb 23, 2003 Cask. Served lightly chilled. Damn bartender was filling up a large mug of this when she was politely reminded by another bartender that since this a barleywine they serve it in a smaller glass. Stupid b... ahh well, if it had been better i probably would have been madder. Anyway, it was decent, just not as good as many others i have had. Not very hoppy, quite creamy, not too much malt, although it seemed a little sugary. Anyway, it was ok, i guess, i rant.

Apr 14, 2001 Basically a light barleywine. I was lucky to taste a 2 year old (1999 version) keg of it - and its held up nicely. Alot of malt, of course, but its heavily hopped enough to keep it balanced. Very smooth.
