A copper color with white head. Aroma contains some dark fruit, alcohol brandy maybe, and citrus. Flavor punches you in the face with alcohol and then some chocolate malts, caramel, cherries, and dark fruit. Some vanilla in the aftertaste. Its like 90 degrees in here but would be good for a cold day.

a barleywine with peat malt and candi sugar...different. has a lot of what you'd expect from a good BW (caramel sweetness, good dose of bittering hops) but the subtle smoke in the aroma and flavor/finish is different. great full mouthfeel. smooth, and tasty. a little overpriced, only because there are others for less that are as good but it's unique and good enough to be a real treat if you haven't had it.

The Widdershins Oak Aged Barley Wine pours a nice dark golden brown color with a tan head. The aroma was of apples, pears and a hint of caramel malt. The taste was sweet and full. The mouthfeel is good, but could be a bit thicker. The flavors were of sherry, and caramel malt. A very good barley wine, but probably over priced.

Orange clear appearance, almost no foam. Wonderful sweet malty aroma of peaches, apricot, syrup with a small note of grapefruit. Wonderful malty flavour peaches and yellow plums. Some US hops in the background. Oily and sweet but still very well-balanced finish.

Poured a hazy orange brown color with a small, off white head that left some lacing on the glass. Aroma was a little oxidized, while still showing a decent hoppy profile, with some caramel, toffee, and light smoke, as well as citrus fruits, and alcohol. Taste of caramel malts, a tart citrus, dried fruits, with light roastiness, and more hops and alcohol in the finish.

Tasted at the 2004 Pizza Port Strong Ale Fest. Light orange gold color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is sweet with caramel and honey notes. A medium to full bodied barley wine. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy, and slightly bitter. Touches of orange and spice. Very smooth tasting. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Thanks Dr Bill.
