[1] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/7/2008 7:26:47 PM)
"A copper color with a white head. The aroma contains alcohol, oak, citrus, cherries, and vanilla. The flavor is well balanced but nothing off the chart good either. I taste some citrus, cherries, and caramel. The beer has some strange gritty mouthfeel to it. The aftertaste is slightly bitter. Overall this was ok enough."

"good sweet caramel roastyness off the top. Medium/full bodied barleywine carries a fine carbonation. Amber color with small lace, the aroma smells of nuts and candy......a rich fruitiness with tastes of apricots and plum fruits. A rum like taste but i got no bite, it was very smooth. Balancing hops add some green to the finish. Its a sweet b/w, but mellow, not cloying...well worth the buck69"

"A pretty average barleywine for sure. Aroma was slightly sweet but it just didn't carry much of anything else but the sweetness, so to say it's one-dimensional in the nose would be accurate. Appearance was a dark amber color with a nice head. Flavor had some hop character in there, some raisins and really sweet, but it had an alcohol burn which wasn't pleasant in this case. Nothing really complex at all. It wasn't bad at all, just rather plain."

"Bottled (thanks kenb!). Hazy dark amber colour with small off-white head. Aroma is malts, alcohol and American hops. Flavour is very wineous, but has a huge hayish hoppy dry finish. "

[5] Review by Gromit from Port Orchard, WA, USA who has tried this beer (3/4/2006 12:23:46 PM)
"Pours a cloudy brown with not much head, but some lacing. Scent is fruity, I'm thinking raisins. Taste is really young. Very fruity and sweetand lacks balance. Alcohol is present as well. Overall I think this needs some sleepy-time. I love this brewery, and I'm pretty sure this will get better."
