Got this out the bargain bin at the local liquor store for 2.50, not a bad deal. Poured out a very dirty, murky reddish brown color with a small head that died away to a tiny ring. Smells of dark fruity notes, figs and the like, malty caramel sweets/just plain sugar and some hops. Hit of booze already in the nose. Taste is similar but with a lot more hops than expected, kinda threw it all off. Lingering biterness from said hops and the booze made this slightly harsh to drink, not too bad though. Overall, can't say it was my thing but was quite the experience

12.7 fl. oz. bottle served in a tulip. Lots of sediment present in the base of the bottle and the cap is pretty cruddy looking. Pours the color and clarity of unpasteurized cider with a side, cream-colored head embedded with copious tiny ringlets. Nose expresses notes of figs and candi sugar as well as a trace of spirits. Taste follows nose; however, it's a bit muted and watered down. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body (but closer to light) with a mild carbonation, a trace of oiliness and a hint of ethanol heat. Overall, a decent offering albeit a bit lackluster. Unsure of the age; however, I think this one has a few years on it.

Expensive bottle poured into a tulip. A semi-hazy, dirty reddish-brown color with a tall tan head that leaves a lot of lace. Smells of dates, raisins, candy. Taste is really good, well balanced - bitter, but not overly so. Mouth feel is nice, medium-full malty body, ample carbonation. A big beer meant for savoring. Overall, although expensive, this is a very good barley wine.
