This is a nice barleywine. Clean crisp fruity/alcoholic aroma. Luminescent brown look. Smooth mouthfeel and slightly bitter/alcoholic aftertaste. Well done. Bottle.

Ughsmash (7408) - Pewaukee, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 17, 2011
Thanks to John for the bomber! Poured clear medium amber with a short, dense white head.. nice color to it. The aroma picked up a rich bouquet of darker fruits, showcasing plums and red grapes, with a grape skin and apricot-like sourness that hinted at infection.. not bad, but the nose foreshadowed problems. The flavor opened tart and never got away from that (lighter-skinned fruits including apples led).. some grainy fruit meat and bready sweetness at the core.. candied tartness masked the alcohol on the finish, and left a long trail of fruity residual bitterness after the swallow. Medium-bodied and seemingly infected on the palate.. I could sense some interesting character deeper down, but it was not enjoyable to drink.

Bomber. Pours copper with a thin tan head. Smells of resiny hops, some sweet malt. Taste blends strong bittering hops and malt nicely.

richlikebeer (838) - Easton, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 25, 2005
thanks to maibockaddict and mkobes for brining this to the jimmack invt. poured a clear amber color with a little bit of white head, aroma was sweet and grassy. flavor had a great balance moving from the hops to a caramel malt flavor with maybe some raisin tones, sliding back to just a little bit of hops on the tail. a very drinkable BW, with just a hint of bourbon in the aftertaste and no trace of its ABV.

jimmack (1223) - Nutley, New Jersey, USA - MAY 24, 2005
22oz. bottle thanks to MaiBockAddict and Mkobes. Amber color with a good sized tan head. Hoppy, floral aroma that is hard to describe. Lavender, perhaps? Whatever I’m smelling I am enjoying it. Sweet malt flavor with some dark fruit, a bit of hops and a nice warming alcohol finish. Nice.

05.22.05 Bomber thanks to MBA and mkobes at jimmack04 invitational. DArk amber pour, thick head. Aroma is immensely floral and almost detergent-like aroma. My first impression was mens room hand soap, but in a good way. The floral notes are weirdly persistent and even when I can’t smell it, I’m still smelling it. Luckily, I like flowers. Maybe a bit light on the finish. Great malty backbone of scones with marmalade that really seems to hold up to the insane 11%. Thanks Dave and Mary!

mkobes (2142) - paramus, New Jersey, USA - FEB 21, 2005
22 oz bottle from the brewpub. Clear red in color with a tan head. Sweet tasting. Interesting aroma combination of alcohol and hops. Gentle hops. Fruity malt flavor. Nice alcohol burn. Drinkable beer. Very dangerous though.

MaiBockAddict (1497) - Good Beer Bar Deprived, New Jersey, USA - FEB 20, 2005
22 oz bottle. Clear red, tan head. Aroma is an interesting combination of alcohol, hops, malt, wintergreen?, and mixed Belgian-like fruitiness. The alcohol blends in well. Flavor is fruity malt and gentle hops. I suspect Belgian Candi-sugar in this one. Rather drinkable, but dangerous.
