(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of IrishBoy. Slightly hazy golden with a small, off-white head. Fruity and spicy nose. Medium body with very fruity notes, lightly sweet malt and perhaps a touch of honey. The finish though is dominated by a brutal and very astringent bitterness which is far from pleasant. 180607

Thanks to Beer_Hawk for sharing this at the Knoxville Spring(ish) Tasting in Knoxville, TN on 3/10/2007. This pours an almost opaque dark brown that shows clear on the edges and supports a tan head. The aroma is one of dark fruits and alcohol. The bourbon is well masked and the overall flavor blends this subtle bourbon with the fruits and caramels. Smooth, alcoholic. Excellent Barleywine.

Bottle pours a deep redish brown with a small sandy comored head. Tons of rich ripe pitted fruit, plums brown sugar and a little spiciness. Flavor was a bit of a let down. Slightly roasted dark pitted fruits aain, some tof the raisons the lable claims and a nice slightly sour bite. Medium bodies and a dry finish. Thanks Jordan.

750ml bottle graciously shared by tjthresh, via jasonmech77, thanks! Pour is a dark mahogany with a smallish khaki head. Aroma is sweet malt and raisins. The taste is a nice balance of the malt sweetness and the raisins, and a bit of alcohol poking through. The finish is quite hot. Overall, a nice beer.

I heard Solan had brought a very unique beer along to taste. I would have never guessed I was going to have the opportunity to try this beer. Huge thanks to Alan for sharing this one.
Pours a murky, muddy, soupy, brackish brown with tan head. The aroma is very light with hints of dark chocolate, light amounts of dark fruit and some yeastiness. The taste begins with both dark fruit and chocolate malts sort of like prunes, dates and cherries soaking in dark chocolate. Midway the sweetness grows. Into the finish there is long lingering black patent malt and caramel notes that carry on for what seems like forever. One of the longest most pleasant aftertastes I’ve experienced. This one is a real treat and certainly a nice one for rating:
#700

Bottle. (thx to papsoe) Even though this is a lovely beer, the label is perhaps the most fascinating about it. It poured unclear, brown, with an off-white head. Dried fruits, roastiness and sweetness in the nose. There was alcohol, dried fruits, roast, raisins and a little dash of sugar in the flavor. Full, sweet, warming mouthfeel lead to a finish with alcohol and some hops. A really lovely, warming and enjoyable beer. Rating: 7-4-8-5-16-4. 070510
Bottle, 375ml. It pours a two-finger, beige head over an unclear, dark brown body. The aroma has lots of dried fruits, with caramel, alcohol, more dried fruits, roasted notes and a little hoppy touch. It’s full-bodied and lightly warming, a bit flat maybe, but it suits the beer. The aroma has lots of prunes, a touch of alcohol, a pleasant bitterness bringing balance into the accounts, some roasted malts and also a sugary sweetness. Certainly a very well brewed beer, it was nice to have it again. 120211

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Very unclear reddish brown. Very fruity aroma - some roastiness as well. Very full-bodied and fruity with yeasty accents. The finish is dry and surprisingly hoppy. Not a bad beer as it is, but I think this will gain with some more age on it. 090507

Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Rating #10000 at OMH. Dark brown, creamy beige head. Lovely aroma of mature caramel, blackberries and vanilla. Fruity and vastly malty. Full bodied, yet so soft and gentle. Notes of coffee and almost balsamic oak character. Very complex and extremely well balanced. Finishes with surprisingly low bitterness. Perfection in near every aspect. The best barley wine ever! What a superb beer to chose for an important milestone!
