The long awaited return of an extreme ale. Amber red in color with the perfect balance of malt, bitterness and alcohol. A true sipper, pungent aroma of malt marries well with bourbon barrels roasted wood and vanilla flavors.

[1] Review by drewseslu from Saint Louis, MO, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/2/2007 7:25:58 PM)
"2004 Vintage. Wow! the aroma is unreal, malty with toast, caramel, cocoa, raisins, fig newtons, vanilla, wood, leather, alcohol, bourbon, you can tell this is powerful stuff. Pours a rich copper color with basically no head. Rich and full mouthfeel, with very soft carbonation and significant stickiness. The flavor full reflects the aroma with other very ripe fruits peeking through, along with some rumminess. One helluva powerful brew, a bit unbalanced towards the malt for an American Barleywine, but its hard to recognized such a hedonistic beverage, as this is over top in the most indulgent of styles."
