2012 Bottle - thanks Sean! Pours clear deep ruby chestnut, medium creamy tan head that lasts a long time and laces well. Aroma is very malty, rich toffee, molasses, some dark bread, a bit earthiness. Flavor is medium sweet and light plus bitter, very malty, toffee and toasted caramel, pumpernickle, some pine from the bittering hops. Full body, creamy mouthfeel, some lingering bitterness. A bit hot. This bad boy has held up pretty well!

22 oz. bottle, batch 320 bottled in May 2012. Brown color with ruby highlights around the edges when held to the light. After two years still a proper carbonation level. Aroma is sweet with dark fruit, sweet bread, pine hops and light fruit.
Flavor of figs, caramel dipped raisins, candy sugar upfront with a nice Amarillo, Cascade / piney hop balance. Nicely balanced because the piney with citrus hops still comes through the sweetness. Slight warming after the sip without any alcohol distraction. Body is medium to heady with a lightly syrupy texture without being sticky. The depth of flavor really surprised me. Nice layer of complexity, great brew.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into two chalices and I shared this with my dad on Thanksgiving of 2012.
The appearance was a nice golden amber to brown tobacco color with a decent half finger foamy white head that once it starts to die, there is a decent amount of adequate stringy lacing sticking finely to the sides of the glass.
The smell was definitely of the English persuasion of sorts of a Barleywine as the typical \"tobacco\" smell and maltiness came out here.
The taste was caramel malts with a nice coating of the tobacco coming through as well.
On the palate, it sat about a medium to heavy with a decent boozy edge to it. The alcohol is well noted and I know that was not from the tryptophan from the turkey we had that night.
Overall, this one’s a beast of a barleywine, not one to mess with as it made an exceptional Thanksgiving well remembered today.

A nice easy drinking Barleywine. This is good now, I’d love to try this after cellared for a few year.

Tap at Max Burger, Longmeadow, 18/05/13. Murky dark mahogony brown with a thin light tan head. Nose is dark fruits, dates, bread pudding, toffee fudge, sugars. Taste comprises dark toffee, dark berry fruits, demerara sugar, fig rolls. Full bodied, fine carbonation, booze in the finish. Decent BW - alcohol well integrated keeping this drinkable.

Tap at ues pony bar. Pours kinda ugly cloudy brown. Nice nose of candy and dark fruits. Tastes of caramel, cookie dough, figs, earth, resin, and some floral notes. Dry on finish and not too sticky for barleywine. Slight alcohol warming which will carry me the 20 block walk home

22 ounce bottle into snifter; Spring 2011 bottling, 2 years old now. Pours hazy dark ruby red color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big caramel, raisin, apple, toast, light pine, brown sugar, orange rind, brown bread, orange zest, floral, grass, candi sugar, and toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt notes with a fair amount of hop presence. Taste of caramel, raisin, apple, toast, brown sugar, light orange rind, light pine, brown bread, floral, candi sugar, and toasted earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of raisin, apple, caramel, toast, brown sugar, light pine, floral, candi sugar, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice balance and complexity of malt flavors with a fair amount of hop presence; with zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a creamy, fairly slick, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent American Barleywine at 2 years of age. Very nice balance and complexity of malt flavors with moderate hops; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.
