COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This dangerously drinkable garnet beauty is a hop lover’s delight. The intense dry-hop nose and the alcohol content are perfectly balanced for a caramel candy-like malt finish. This is a serious beer for serious beer afficionados and it only gets better with age. Cellarable for 3 years.

oles Barleywine Competition 2012. Piney, big hop driven aroma. Ever slight vegetal notes. Hop forward, herbal bitterness. Great bitter flavor, dominated the malty backbone but works well. Big WC BW. Nice

Thisis12ptfont (87) - Los Angeles, CA, California, USA - FEB 4, 2012
Aroma of earthy hops and subtle fruitiness. Deep reddish color with a very large foam top. Taste is grassy, herby, leafy, hop presence with a slight malty coushion. Pleasant medium-body with a deep inner-warming feeling due to the alcohol. Overall, a delicious barleywine with lots of hop flavor and a somewhat thick texture on the palate. I’d give this an B+ rating.

22oz bottle in a snifter. Pours deep amber with a lacy, light tan head. Aroma of strong citrusy hops, caramel malts and cereal, plus a breadiness. Flavor really strong on hops which blends well with the malts. Average texture. A really good beer.

On tap at Whole Foods. Cloudy orange with foamy white head. Citrus, floral, caramel. Pretty bitter and only moderately sweet. Alcohol content seems a little low for a barley wine ... I’d consider this more of a DIPA.

22 oz. from PCC. Describing the color as "garnet" is no exaggeration. Not sure if it’s because of the dry hopping, but tastes refreshingly crisp for a barley wine (even a young one). This is a rather fresh bottle, but I’d love to taste one that’s been aged a bit. Absolutely delicious and I don’t belive for a second this is over 9% ABV.

Caramel bronze, bite in the back end, beginning is smooth. Alcohol peeks through. Avery does it again..

Great beer. Aroma is intense. Floral and grapefruit taste are pronounced in the taste ending in a strong bitterness.

A very fun barely wine that has a lot of flavor but is not a sissy in terms of solid mouth filling flavor.
