Bottles from 2005, 2006, 2009. Brown, thin tan head. Aroma of butterscotch. Light body, flavors of maple syrup and cherries. Very sweet, but also slightly acidic. Average.

2006 bottle courtesy of Pailhead. Rating #350! Thanks! Pours chocolate brown with a small disappearing head. Very pungent aroma of toffee, raisins and alcohol. Same in the taste... but VERY sour and totally off balance. ourness like sour cherries and barnyard funk. Bad bottle?

Rated April 2008. 12oz bottle pours a mildly murky brown-ish amber with weak tan head. The aroma is fairly pungent with malt and rye notes to start followed by fruity esters, some olives, mild caramel candy, earthiness and a building level of heat with a deep draw. The taste begins sweet with a quick pulse of malts and caramelization followed by sweet dark fruity esters. Quickly tart tannins build up to a near fever pitch with what seems like a combination of white wine and red wine tannins mixing with tart pomegranate fruit juice. It ends pretty dry carrying mildly dark fruity esters deep into the after taste. It was a bit different with all the tannin tartness but I enjoy it.

On tap January 2004. Dark brownish toffee like color with a mix of dark yellow and hazy orange. Big creamy off white head that sticks around. Aroma is full of malty goodness, with some light chocolate and lots of prune. Some dryness from the alcohol as well. Full body, tapering off a bit towards the finish. Very pleasant English style. Good thick, creamy mouthfeel. Lots of rich malt flavor, chocolate, sweet prunes, brown sugar, light maple. As it warmed it kept tasting more complex with plenty of spiciness and rich fig/date flavor. Some alcohol is perceptible and helps dry out the heavy malt flavor. Bitter for an English Barleywine, I suppose, but no high alpha hops apparent. Very good. Hell, it certainly surpassed Bell's boring cherry and sugar concoction in my books.
