Rated May 2008. Courtesy of Degarth. You ROCK!! my friend. Pours deep clear copper with nice tan head. The aroma is nice and rich with caramel, sticky sweet malts, mildly roasted malts, mild pine hops and faint dark fruity esters. The taste has sweet sticky malts followed by a load of roasted to caramel malts and mild melded blunted pine hop bitterness. Very nice. Near the finish the dark fruity esters show up to create a pleasing bookend to the experience.

Late 2007 Batch:
Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, prunes, plums, raisins and grapes. Full-bodied; Strong maltiness up front with a potent sweetness and strong alcoholic finish. Aftertaste stays strong with whiskey, oak, vanilla and prunes very noticeable. Overall, a good barleywine, a bit strong and a harsh finish - but with a new batch, it’s what you’d expect! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 25-December-2007.

2007 VIntage Deep ruby-brown beer, no head left. Sweet, lots of alcohol & fusels in the nose, raisins and madeira. Sweet-ish taste, nutbread, blue cheese, cardemoms, dry, and generally a lot of (dark) malts. Pretty complex. Very full bodied, oily & slick to viscous. Excellent barley wine, obviously of an excellent vintage. Many thanks to the American generous donator!

LCRBM2. Dark copper colour with beige head. Nice toffeeish beer. Great hop on the end. Orange/tangerine fruit. Good choc/coffee too. Spicey hot alcohol on end. Not as bad as I thought it might be.

kp’s Fest of 26 Pours a clear, deep, amber. The aroma is complex, caramel malt and dried fruit. Smooth sweet start, with a good supportive bitterness. The bitterness comes in at the back, and remains through the finish. The body is a bit thin, but overall this is an acceptable Barleywine.

Bottle. Brown, small head. Aromas of dark fruits, sweet malts, caramel, and fig. Nice flavor! Stars clean, followed by a slight malty figgish flavor, which is followed by a nice mouthful of alcohol... then finishes smoothly. LOVE the lack of alcohol in the finish- really appreciate it in the middle. Good stuff!
