Pours a hazy iced tea color with a short lived head that drops to a collar.

Smells of sweet malt, wet hops, fruit and sherry wine. Toffee and caramel aromas as well.

Big sweet rich malt taste. Grassy hops, fruit, dates, caramel and tea flavors. A little spiciness in the finish. Nicely done and well balanced.

Full bodied with a rich, thick and viscous mouthfeel. Excellent!

Great balance a lack of noticeable alcohol lead to a very drinkable barleywine.

Their 2002 version won the gold at the Toronado Barleywine festival. The 2003 is aging rather well.
