Big malty flavors, including licorice and chocolate, are balanced with a moderate hop profile. Brewed with copious amounts of prized malts and flaked oats, the Barley Wine is so strong that it has to be aged for several months before we can bottle it. Like a fine wine, it will continue to improve with age up to 2 years after bottling (If kept cool).

Says right on the bottle, "Vintage 2001 C." Had a 2002 already rated that I can convert to another batch. But meanwhile:
Deep brown pour, no foam. Smell has some raisin and plum, a little faded, but nothing has gone off. The taste, meanwhile, is also a bit faded. I'm typing through a bit of bitter aftertaste, but it started rather light. Still some maltiness and fruity ale notes, but the mouthfeel is comparatively light, and not boozy at all. I think the alcohol will creep up on me, but I'm hardly feeling that at all.
