Olde Deuteronomy is a beer that is high in alcohol, full-bodied, and has a "chewy" maltiness. Because it improves with age, it is called a barley wine. Olde Deuteronomy is truly a beer to be shared with friends and should be sipped out of a brandy snifter. Each vintage will age and improve for several more years.

"ALLEY KAT? AWESOME BEER? HUH? 2.99$ for 341ml? ARE THEY F'N INSANE??!!? STOCK UP! No, wait, don't. I just claimed them...
2007
I had to open a second one cause I pretty much chugged the first one. When will the 9.9% hit? Right about................. now. Follows the formula of other tasty BW's - other GOOD BW's. Pours out a mahogany / burnt orange brew that shows no cap until mid pour and even at that it is just what one would expect - a thin skim at best. Damn, this is good smelling beer. Sweet, fresh and malty: caramel (not oversweet caramel), oranges, grapefruit, background chocolate, weak spice that is kinda like a subdued cinnamon (it's not cinnamon), hearty bread....... breathe deep..... aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. The taste is great - nothing harsh about this - English style more so. Caramel, dark fruit mixed with some citrus, mild earthy spice, something else... damn, I just want to drink this, not analyze it. Man, this smells better and better as it warms. Mouthfeel is very soft, this brew gets close to syrupy but not in a bad way. Full bodied. Long lasting light bitter finish with a bit of alcohol - something that does not get noticed often here. ALLEY KAT EPIC! I'll get this before some of the other BW's available in my area. So smooth. It gets a 10 for drinkability. Makes me really want to open the '05 that I got in the Beerium. Only negative comment: the label concept is good but the art sucks! Although, that fat cat looks F'd up, stupid floating angel cats pouring beer on his bicep... they are all obviously smashed!... I guess it's pretty good after all!

[2] Review by PaulCardom from Stittsville, Ontario, Canada who has tried this beer once. (12/25/2007 6:39:13 PM)
"This beer appears copper coloured in the glass, off-white head, very attractive. The aroma is hops and caramel with some hints of malt. The mouthfeel is full-bodied, mildly carbonated, and dry. The flavour is hoppy with a white grapefruit finish."

"shazbot! first thing that comes to mind after tasting this. poured with a decent light tan head that vanished pretty quickly. leaves a skiff on the top. colour is a deep amber. smell boasts fruitiness, caramel and hops. once i tasted this, i was shell shocked. hahahaha. no seriously, i wasn't expecting the smoothness that it carries. can't taste the alcohol at all. nice and sweet malts. the hops don't jump out like you think they would after smelling it. great brew for the locals."

"pours a dark dark mahagony with a decent sized tan head that disappeared pretty quickly. smells of dark fruits (figs/prunes), and malts. taste is of figs, sugar, roasted malts, and alcohol. the mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth, imagine drinking silk... its like that, a bit hoppy aftertaste. a surprise considering its alley kat!! :| and for 2.09 canadian its priced perfectly....perfectly cheap! :)"

"WTF!!!!! This stuff is a amazing I'm ah struck about this beer. First of all I got to say this was the 2005 vintage that I celered under the front seat of my truck for three months, I bought it and a week later I couldn't find it in my fridge so then I assumed I just thought I bought it, but then when I stopped at red light the beer came flying up to my feet three monthes later. Any way beer poured a dam nice golden brown, it almost looked like it was glowing, the head slightly disappointed me disappearing quit fast. This smelt so good, sweet malts, caramel mixed with yeast and citrus made my mouth drool. The feel was very rich and smooth and nicely carbonated. The taste was completely awesome very full flavor, the taste of roasted malts, oranges, grapes finishing with sweet yeast was next to perfect.. This by far the best Alley Kat there is, I'll even go as far as saying I would compare this to any strong Belgian brew that I've had. Kick fawking ass!!!!!!!!
