2004 Bottle - Deep hazed sunset orange, thin white creamy head. Nose held notes of caramel coated orange peel, grapefruit, light pine, and brown sugar, with hints of pineapple as it continued to warm. Rich citric hop bitterness flavors up front that flow into an orange, caramel, light cherry and pineapple tone. Coming in late, a musty sweet caramel tone back the hops to near perfection. Medium to full bodied, sharp carbonation, bittersweet finish. Definitely one of Lagunitas best efforts...

Bomber. Clear dark cherry amber with medium head that thins. Aroma is big sweet floral, lots of caramel, ripe fruit. Taste is sweet boozy caramel with big fruity hop backbone. Finish is medium-heavy bitterness that lingers. Lots of sweet molasses feel on mouth. I would like to drink this beer in a year and see how it is.

2008 22oz bottle opened in 2010. Beautiful golden red with a creamy head. Not much aroma, but what’s there is sweeness and alcohol. Taste has lots of caramel sweetness- too much, not enough bitterness to balance it.

A great barley wine. High in alcohol, but not noticeable. a great balance of malt, hops and carbonation, something which can be missed with this style.

On tap at Rose Alley Ale House in New Bedford. Deep amber color with a thick head. Aroma is of citrus, lemon, hops, and sweeter malts. Flavor is a little boozy with malts, hops, and a little bitter. Leaves a sweeter malt aftertaste.
