Dec 1, 2009 Tasted 2009-11-29. 2008 bottle. After having been on a little beer hiatus, I found this one sitting alone in the fridge. We thought: "yeah, why not", and took it out to warm up a bit. It ended the hiatus; That fat bitch on the label is one tasty mama... It poured quite hazy and had very well rounded notes of malt, spices and even some hops after all this time. Now to revisit the cellar to see what other jewels I forgot I had. (If I’m not mistaken there’s a case of Westy 12 down there partying with their good friend Lou Pepe.)

Nov 21, 2009 I believe this was compliments of Stevey, anyways, it poured an orange/amber hue, formed small off beige head of foam. Aroma was more pungent of hops, pine resins and malt. The flavour was that of an Imperial IPA, much smoother than most BW beers, hops and malty caramel goodness balance this beer, making abv well hidden, thus dangerous. Most excellent beer.

Nov 14, 2009 2009, blue wax edition: Amber, orange colored brew. Aroma is exotic fruits, orange, some citric, floral hops. Flavor is hoppy, citric, floral, some grapefruit. Hops are really nice. For a brew it’s really nice, for a barleywine it misses some characteristics, could be more silky and smooth, less hops and more warming alcohol. It’s more imperial IPA, then a barleywine. Still very enjoyable ofcourse.

Nov 14, 2009 Bottle from 2008. A nose of jam, strawberries, toffee, oak and alcohol. Taste is of strawberries, cookie, soil and a lot of funk, almost too much. Finish is salty and bitter and has a bit of alcohol in it. A solid BW.
