Bottle @ ZZT X shared by Ansjelaah. Nice amber reddish color, medium sized off-white to beige head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma and taste are malts, sweetish, sweet malts, some alcohol, quite bitter for a barley wine, overripe fruits, dark raisins. Medium to full body, nice light syropy texture, decent carbonation. Pretty nice.

Bottle thanks to David. Appearance - golden orange with a thin head. Nose - honey and Seville orange. Taste - creamy orange with honey and gentle fudge. Palate - full bodied with a rich thick texture and a fairly balanced finish considering the Overall - barley wine by numbers, thought they’ve restrained the alcohol note well.

650ml bottle courtesy of AshtonMcCobb, cheers Ash! Pours dark red-brown, thin white head. Aromas of dark barley sugar sweets, creamy toffee, dark honey. Taste has a nuttiness, lots of dark sugars. I was expecting something along the citrus/pine/resin hop hit, but in the end, just a solid, by the book, British barley wine.

Murky deep amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Palate is smooth with good fine carbonation, semi dry. Smooth creamy malt streaked with toffee. Little alcohol spice. Nice hops - bitter spicy marmalade. It all comes together very well, nicely balanced. A big chewy barleywine! Nicely done!

Bottle thanks to fata2683: Poured a darker brown with burgundy edges, head was two finger tan. Nose very hops forward and spicy. Taste is strong hops, spicy, malty mix. More pungent to the tongue than stick.

Bottle. Pours with a hazy brown hued body with a medium sized tan head. Aromas are of pennies, baked bread, honey, peppery alcohol, lots of caramel. Flavors are of iced tea, a boat load of caramel malts, marmalade, medium esters. Oppressive body with medium carbonation and plenty of fusel.

22oz bomber of 11.6% ABV barleywine goodness pours with a dark brown to amber body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up musty malts and blunted pine hops along with some floral hop notes and hop resin mixed with booze. The taste is a bit brash with resiny bitter pine hops, thick maltiness and some caramel as it rolls quickly into lime peel and floral hoppiness. All in all this is somewhat disjointed. Maybe a little cellar time will pull it together. It seemed the big ABV was pretty well hidden though.
