Old Strathdee barley wine was brewed Dec. 18 2003. Aged in the Bushwakker cellar at a constant 7deg.C since January 2nd, 2004. This specially selected stoneware bottle keeps light from damaging the precious liquid contained within. Stored in a cool place, this beer will continue to prove its depth of character for years to come.

[1] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/30/2006 6:25:39 PM)
"Poured from a 1/2 liter stone flip-top I get a deep chestnut colored ale with ruby highlights in my trappist snifter. A modest 1 finger sticky cap reduces to a surface and glass clinging lace which lasts the drink out......Aromas of rich caramel nuggat, walnuts, stewed figs and and earthy, musty, wet burlap under tone...rich malt spine, oily mouth feel medium-heavy body, rich mellow character....Starts with a big malt wallup up front that gives the impression of liquid raisin bread, midway there are come layered flavors: caramel, nuts, vanilla, grass, dried fruit, then the finish surprises; english hops show up in spades and give a slow bittering to the long finish and clean up any potential sweetness....tinny aftertaste...and virtually no indication of the alcohol in this beer.....a great drinkable Barley wine and another crown jewel for this brewer"
