Hazy cloudy brown, small tan head. Aroma is evident of the infected batch. Big, tart sour cherries. The hops are all but gone. As it warms the buttery, rum, bready malts come through a bit, and the the finish punches you in the face with sourness! This really has turned into a a flemish brown wrapped in toffee, and yeasty malts. Too bad. Its not 100% awful, but i dont see finishing the bottle.

Bottle from Mike’s Barleywine tasting, thanks for the opportunity! Big fruit and sherry notes with a bit of caramel still left. Great to try but maybe a bit over the hill.

Bottle. Some banana. Fruity, toffee.

Acquired two of these in a cellar cleaning a friend was doing. Very excited to try this! Enjoyed in a huge Riedel Bordeaux glass at just above fridge temp around 45-50 Degrees F.

A - Poured a plum to brown hazy purple into the glass. No head at all, almost no carbonation wisp as I uncapped it. Looks very murky.

S - Smells very sweet. Lots of dark fruits and sugars. Very like candied sugar sort of sweetness. Hints of vanilla and smoke.

T - Lots of fruity characters to this. Plums, bananas, mangos, kiwi and something else. Maybe grape juice? It has this uber bitter-sweet taste that stays around for a while. Middle of the tongue is very musty and sort of raw. Back of the tongue is this light campfire smokiness.

M - Very mild carbonation but it’s still there. Heavy body.

O - This is the oldest barley wine I’ve had. It’s remarkable. I’m going to hold onto the other one for a while.

750mL bottle, split several ways, pours a murky orangey amber with a small beige head. Rich about now I was really hoping I didn't get an infected bottle. The aroma has red berries, English malt, and caramel - very rich. Flavour of English malt, tofee, dark fruits, apples, and a very subtle sourness, but it isn't dominant. Lucked out with this - certainly isn't infected. Quite the contrary, it's held up very well over the years. Very rich and warming without any cloying notes. Full-bodied, sticky, and slightly sweet, and only a smidgeon of the sourness. Excellent.

Cloudy red - brown beer. Sourish woody nose with a hint of cherry. Softish palate, semi dry. Mildly sour malt and sour coca cola. An undertone of bitter chocolate. Mild spice. An odd combination that just about hangs together. Finishes soft, froth and dry with more sour coca cola.
