Bottle purchased at beverages for less in Santee. Mahogeny red poor little carbonation. Nice dough flavors of yeast, bisquit, candy sugars, carmel, raisins. Nice but a different tasting barley wine.

Mar 8, 2010 Deep amber color pour with a foamy, lasting head. Lots of caramel malt, vanilla, brown sugar and bourbon in there. Also a good hoppy finish. Very nice brew.

Mar 4, 2010 Bomber poured into Old Guardian glass from Stone. Excellent aroma that blends big hops with sweet malt and aged goodness. Deep dark amber that is slightly cloudy. Huge flavor that is intensely sweet but deliciously drinkable. Fantastic butt kicker of a beer.

Mar 3, 2010 Bottle. Bright red. Nose is a bit perfumy, malty, winey. A bit sweet, perfumy, very hot. This needs another 6 months at least in the bottle.

Feb 26, 2010 On tap at Stone Brewing Co, (Escondido, California): Pours out deep reddish brown with a large retaining off-white foamy head. Aroma of sweet malts, especially caramel malt notes and some grassy hop notes as well. In a word, the nose reminds me of musk. Flavors are dominated by sweet malts with a nice grainy backing and highlighted with light citrus, chewy caramel and roasted vanilla notes. There’s also a notable grassy feel that gives it that "chewy" texture. Drinkability: For a barleywine, the alcohol is masked extremely well without being too cloying. Pairing: Fierce dessert. Rebuy: Yes. #303 on 26022010, DG.
