The long awaited return of an extreme ale. Amber red in color with the perfect balance of malt, bitterness and alcohol. A true sipper, pungent aroma of malt marries well with bourbon barrels roasted wood and vanilla flavors.

From March 2009. RB Rating #1100 Purchased at the brewery a few months back. I’ve been looking forward to trying this. The aroma can be detected from across the room. There is a great play between dark fruity goodness, sweet caramel, hints of alcohol and woody bourbon-ness. The flavor is a sweet kiss on the lips with figs, dates, minced raisins soaking in molasses and an absolutely delicious river of caramel candy. A pleasant warming sensation does show up around the finish. Competing with the barleywine flavors but a couple notches below in strength is a bourbon and wood sensation. Very nice compliment creating an enjoyable experience. The after taste is a mix of dark fruit, caramel and hints of wood. The only knock I could find would be the body. It’s a bit too thin. Sure hope they plan on making more this next winter.

Progressively became more enjoyable. It's a hearty beast of a brew with a great bran cereal trait coupled with the fruitiness of a well made barleywine and an unmistakable vanilla and bourbon flavor.

2004 Vintage. Wow! the aroma is unreal, malty with toast, caramel, cocoa, raisins, fig newtons, vanilla, wood, leather, alcohol, bourbon, you can tell this is powerful stuff. Pours a rich copper color with basically no head. Rich and full mouthfeel, with very soft carbonation and significant stickiness. The flavor full reflects the aroma with other very ripe fruits peeking through, along with some rumminess. One helluva powerful brew, a bit unbalanced towards the malt for an American Barleywine, but its hard to recognized such a hedonistic beverage, as this is over top in the most indulgent of styles.
