Courtesy of moejuck. Thanks buddy. Pours with copper core and gold edges with off white head. The aroma is full of hard orange candy, pine resin and a hint of dark fruity esters in the background. The taste is smooth and yummy with citrus orange to pine resiny goodness. It quickly moves toward mildly sweet grape jam, a hint of raisins and prunes. The dark fruity esters are much lighter in flavor than are the bittering hops. Very nice American style barleywine. Yum.

2004 homebottled bottle from Santa. Pours a healthy amber-yellow with some light orange and tinges of auburn. Small fizzy off-white head. Aroma of c-hops? Pretty bitter and citric ones, anyways. Light toffee notes in the background and some dry earthy notes. Flavor begins with an immediate dryness from the yeast. It seems to be English, with some brown bread, nuts and dusty earthy notes. Malt tastes like maris otter in a way. Quickly jumps in to some hops bitterness, must be some cascades (or something very similar) in here. Citric and bitter. Lots of dry english toffee-like flavors mixed with caramel and a hint of sugar. Very even, full body, with very low carbonation and a big finish of sweet candied oranges, butterscotch, and whipped cream. Some alcohol on the finish, but it is pleasant and gives a warming sensation. As hoppy as this is, it’s somehow quite tasty and balanced. English in nature, with the peculiar aspect of high alpha american hops in the mix. I think it works pretty well though. Or maybe I was just in the mood for some hops tonight! Thanks so much Secret Santa, this was a treat!

Tasted at Barley''s 10th Anniversary Party on November 21st. Cask-conditioned version. Poured a light chestnut color with a thin tan head. Strong malty/oat aroma. Very powerful flavor and alcohol content was very evident. Very malty with a little caramel, and it actually had a slightly bitter finish. Overall a very interesting brew.
