Bottle shared during the first Late Nite session of RBWG 2015. Vintage 2009, from the CapFlu collection. Pours mostly clear golden-brown with a creamy off-white head. The nose holds some burnt toffee, butterscotch, old pine. Medium sweet flavor, oxidised, with some earthy bitterness, papery caramel, brown bread. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Warming finish, sticky sweet, more papery caramel. So so.

Bottle - Vintage 2009 - Caramel, plum and woody notes. Clear copper with a decent white head. Light sweet caramel, very mellow and a bit underwhelming. Past its prime.

Bottle at Alibi Room, Vancouver, vintage 2009, 2+ years old
Dark mahogany color, with dark red shades, and small head. Simple aroma of caramel. The mouthfeel is somehow round, but the body is less strong than expected, and the flavor is missing the malt that should belong to a Barley Wine, having just some caramel; the sweetness too is too light; moderate bitterness, maybe some of it is gone with the aging; it has a feeling of cereals, grains; in the final there is a light nutty touch and a light alcohol warmth.
Too simple, as most Barley Wines by Phillips.

Amber light brown with minimal head. Mostly chewy malts with light orangey hops and earthy tobaccoey notes. Some of these notes emerge before the chewiness in engulfed in a chocolatey and slightly alcoholic finish.

650mL bottle from Brewery Creek, pours a murky brown with a reddish tinge and a tan head. Aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon and malt. Flavour is pumpkin, sweet malts, cinnamon, nutmeg and grains. Alcohol is quite dominant, especially at the end. Very warming barley wine.
