UPDATED: FEB 20, 2021 (Bottle) Dark amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of dried apricots, orange peel, caramel, resin, pink grapefruit, toffee, dark rye bread and a touch of maple syrup. Malty, hoppy taste with dried apricots, orange peel, resin, toffee, caramel, rye bread and a generous citric, resiny bitterness in a vinous finish. More than medium body, quite sweet. Solid malt backbone and a generous hop presence. Solid and well made American style barley wine. Very nice.

From Jan 2007 Poured from 22oz bottle a clear amber gold with a small head of foam that shrinks quickly but still leaves a fine layer right down to the last taste and....it has plenty of nice lacing. The smell is a fairly strong mix of hops and malt with some sourish notes. The taste on first sip has a huge caramel malt presense that is supported by good citrus hops and none of the sourness that I mentioned in the nose. Yum. The more sips I take, the more balanced the flavours become to my palate and it makes for some great drinkabilty despite the 10%abv which, btw, is surprisingly well hidden. I'm liking this one and I'll be sure to seek it out again when I next visit Colorado. Bottom line: This is one solid BWSA that I have no qualms about recommending!

Vintage 2010, blue label. The beer starts intense sticky. Round and deep, refreshing with a nice and deep roasted body. Lots of sticky grain in the aftertaste, Sweetish with bitter hops. Deep, rich and sticky sweetish. Nice.

Lagrad flaska från SB. Mörk, bärnstensfärgad vätska med ljusbrunt skum. Kraftfull doft av russin, brännt socker och humle. Tjock, söt, eldig och fyllig munkänsla. Mkt smak av russin, karamell, fikon, torkade dadlar, träfat och starkt portvin.

Pours a dark orange with a light brown lasting head. Aroma includes malt, caramel, fruits and liquorice with some alcoholic notes. Flavor is a nice blend of sweetness and bitterness with some alcohol traces. Thick body with a balanced carbonation and a long semi-sour end.

Draft at City Tap House. Dark amber, tight silky head. Boozy, malty aroma, mildly sweet. Taste leads with the booze, some nice caramelly malts, molasses and toffee. Warmth and plenty of it.
