Bottle at a mini-RB gathering in November. Clearly past it's prime, more than a bit oxidized, but still holds up well enough given the higher abv. Aroma was sweet malts, lots of caramel. Flavor was light toasted malts, caramel. Definitely showing it's age. Sweet, but smooth.

Caramel and malt. Lots of booze. Tobacco and some leather. But sweet leather, like models in high boots. Light sweet malty finish.

Bottle - Caramel and vinous notes. Cloudy caramel and almost no head. Light caramel and woody notes, very simple and not too exciting for what it claims.

50cl swing top via trade with JTClockwork. Pours a murky, deep amber with a ring of white head. Nose has a lot of orange, pear brandy, booze, a little leathery, malt, honeycomb, a little pine. Flavor has more pine, a hint of soapy water, malt, honeycomb, caramel, orange, some booze, a little brandy, some rum, cane sugar. Completely flat, no carbonation whatsoever. Oily, lightly boozy finish. I think I caught this at a weird point, seems like it may have been real good fresh, could be real good with extra age. As is, it’s a little bit of a tweener.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a clear deep amber red with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good sweet grains and caramel with a bit of grass and toffee underlying. Flavor has a good amount of caramel and grains with some toffee and a hint of pine. A bit boozy.

A murky reddish rosé barley wine with a thin lacing mocha head. In aroma, a beautiful vinous malt with loads of herbaceous hops, maderized treacle sugar, very nice. In mouth, a nice well aged barley wine with sweet candy sugar, light vinous notes, barley sugar, very nice. On tap at Barcade Brooklyn, Dec. 30 2011.
