Copper in colour with a medium-sized tan head with large bubbles. Pit fruit smells such as prunes and figs dominate the aroma with caramel and roasted malt aromas in the background. Full-bodied; strong initial taste of pit fruit and malt, then fades to show some hops and coffee/chocolate bitterness. The alcohol is noticeable after you take a sip, and fades away a few minutes later. Not really recommended by me, there are plenty of better barley wines to try no matter what coast you live on. Overall, a decent beer, but not really fitting in the barley wine category...it seems like more of a traditional ale in my opinion. This one most remineded me of Young's Old Nick "barley wine". I had number 11 from the 2003 bottling. I bought this 12 ounce beer at Liqour Mart in Boulder, Colorado.

Dark amber in colour with a very thing off-white head. Smells of malt and sweetness, such as honey and fresh pineapple. Taste of malt and cardboard in the taste. Medium to light bodied with a slightly sour aftertaste. A decent bitter, but not too great. I was really expecting more from Bridgeport. Brew Date: 15-May-2003. I bought this 12 ounce bottle from Total Beverage in Thornton (Denver), Colorado.

1999 vintage, rated 2003
Dark amber-orange; aroma is typical of barley wines this age - toffee, chocolate, molasses, with slight band-aid phenols. Rich complex malt profile - earth and pine included. Solid and serviceable, as it's always been.

I may have gotten a bad one, but mine was lacking in hops in both aroma and taste
