Grayish/tan head that never leaves completely. Clear copper color.Big, malty, grainy nose with some hops showing themselves in the back and some peppery notes also. Full bodied. Nice oily slickness on the tongue. A well balanced blend of malt and hops. Big maltiness thats somewhat sweet up front and the hop bitterness balancing it all out. Chocolate, fruityness and some tobacco flavors and more (that i cant relate to you)with the warmth of the alc. also combine for one hell of a world class barleywine. F-----G Impressive! F-----G Stone F-----G ROCKS! ENJOY!

12/02/06 Walk the Line Barleywine Festival, Dunedin, FL. 2001 vintage. The beer was an orange-ish color with an off white foam head. The aroma was light and consisted of pine hops and a light sweet maltiness. The flavor was really smooth. No sense of the ABV at all. The taste whisks you into a slippery slope of sweet caramel malts and slight dark fruitiness. What was once a sharp pine hop bitterness has mellowed to allow the sweeter pine hop flavor to come on out. Very nice. I wish I had the fore thought to let a couple of these ’01 bombers age. I just drank as I bought ’em.
