Another Rare treat from JohnGalt1 12oz Bottle pulled from a box. Pours out a dark brown with some red highlights topped with almost no head. Aroma was of pit fruit, brown sugar, oxidation, some wood, molasses, and rich malt. Taste was much as the aroma lots of sweetness, sad to say it has already peaked. But I was still very happy to try this.

Courtesy daknole. Pours clear amber with copper edges and really no head to speak of. The aroma is an odd mix of oxidation, soured moldy grapefruit covered with cigar ash and hints of the rich fruity esters way off in the background. The taste has molasses mixing with prunes and sugar stewed cherries. It then rolls into brown sugar toward the finish. There’s a moderate funky tart off-ness to it too.

MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering, January 29, 2011. Of course Bob has a 10 year old beer sitting around. Thanks for sharing. Aroma of dust. Lightly sour with sugar and what is left of old hops. Virtually no carbonation. It is undoubtedly past its prime.

Exceptionally fruity barley wine with very strong alcohol heat which rather overshadows anything else
