2004 vintage consumed in early 2011 - A completely different barleywine than any of their other vintages that I had. First, its black. Even after 6 years its full of sweet fruit esters, all over the place. The strong barleywine alcohol is present as well, however it is not astringent (no astringent cherry). Sweet, alcoholic, strong, and overly fruity. Its showing no sign of age, still very fresh tasting actually. It could use more aging actually. Surprisingly ester rich.
