2006 (11/17/2006) bottle thanks to beervirgin72. Pours with a decently thick, khaki head that slowly dissipates to a film over a murky golden brown body. Good lacing. Strong bourbon aroma that fills the room. Aroma is bourbon, oak, curacao and other citrus booze, orange peel, vanilla, brown sugar, toffee, maple and leather. Taste has a lot of citrus, including some astringency, and lots of bourbon and some barrel ashy-ness with toffee, alcohol and a decent amount of sherry. Basically a lot of barrel and orange. Not amazingly complex, but still pleasant. Somewhat syrupy and mouth coating. Alcohol is there with a slight burn and warming after a few minutes. Moderately tingly carbonation. Good and somewhat different barley wine.

Bottle: Brown with a reddish tint. Nice little creamy beige head. Aroma is sweet and seductive, faint oak and a lively maltiness. Tastes of light barrel aged notes, bits of vanilla, and a welcome amount of fruitiness. Not being well acquainted with sherry, but I think that is playing a role too. Easy to sip, seems to age well as I received this in trade from someone last year... Thanks for sending this to Boise!

Bottle, 11.4%. Vinous, fat vanilla aroma. Hazy brown/red colour. Very small tan head. Distinct vanilla flavour and medium bitterness in good balance. The vanilla somehow reminds me of vitamin pills, but it is quite good. Very late alcohol flavour, but not that noticeable.

2004 Vintage:
Finally cracking into my first bottle of this - and I have to say, I’m impressed. Deep rich amber coloured body with a ruby highlight and a thinnish tan head. Aroma of toffee, figs, pit fruits, plums, nuts and malt. Medium-bodied; Strong fruity flavour with sugars coming out of every direction and a malt kick along with the taste. Aftertaste shows some malty flavours, coupled with toffee and tobacco - a bit of nuts noticeable as well. Overall, a more ’jaded’ barleywine showing some tobacco notes (hey, it is Virginia), toffee and even some fresh fruit flavours. Overall, a good barley wine that really doesn’t show much oak nor vanilla! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from the Dominion Brew Pub in Ashburn, Virginia, dated: 22-July-2004, sampled on 24-December-2007!

Thanks to boboski for opening this brew. Pours orange to clear copper with off white head. The aroma is light with hints of sweetness and oakiness. The taste seems to start off neutral and then becomes smooth and sweet followed by some hints of alcohol and mild tartness. This isn’t as chewy or rich as similar barleywines.

Vintage 2006
Beautiful red-amber color. The aroma has an elegant vanilla presence and Bourbon whisky touch. Full mouthfeel, sweet, malty, with a vanilla touch and rum flavor. Well balanced by a strong bitterness.
Comparison to the non oak aged version. This one has less malt aroma, less complex flavor, less alcohol feeling, less bitterness, a thinner body. It’s softer. A different beer, to drink once in a while.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden with a lacing light orange head. Sweet peach fruity and malt sweet aroma. Flavour is sweet at first. Reveals a slight woody note and a mild alcohol note. Has a nice vanilla smoothness. Ends mild and with a soft alcohol warmth.

From nflmvp. Aroma is cherry/sherry alcohol, cheap fruit punch, some vegetable. Overall a nasty sweetness. Taste is light orange and lots of barleywine alcohol. A light body and overall not impressive beer. Very astringent artificial sweetness all over this beer. Will put another bottle away for a while, maybe some age will improve this mess. 12oz bottle, bottled 11/20/06, Hobgoblin tulip glass.
