Dark ruby with a creamy off white head. Lace plus is what was in my notes, but I’m not sure what that is supposed to mean. An almost sour aroma greets you at first but quickly moves into a caramel and roast malts. Figs and dark crystal malts. Citrus is maybe making some of the sourness. Flavors bring out the bittering hops. Great caramel malts. Sweet malts come out next. Raisins and brown sugar. Alcohol. Thick, cloying and sticky. I like it. Finishes bitter with an awesome malt backing. Great.

Feb 25, 2010 Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours copper with a very frothy beige head. Sweet malt aroma. Medium plus body with very mild carbonation. Very little heat. It’s sweet, but there’s some bitter to help balance. Sweet wins though. It is a very tasty ale, and can be quaffed rather than sipped. The aroma becomes strongly caramel, and it is incredibly tasty.

Jan 15, 2010 In the bottle, 2008 vintage. Pours orange amber with a large yellow beige head. Has a malty aroma consisting primarily of model car glue. Has the flavor of butternut squash. The beer leaves you with a nice chocolate finish and a really good extended hop bitterness on the back of the tongue. Medium think body and a slippery buttery mouth feel. I get lots of pineapple, coconut and rum flavors as well. I suspect this barleywine would really benefit from some aging.
