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.

22oz bottle. Pours reddish copper, thin white head, long lasting. Aroma of sweet candied caramel, nice malt, some light citrus hop. Full malt sweetness. Very balanced, creamy texture. Easy to drink. Finishes with a well done hop profile. its favors more to the English style of BarleyWines. Very good, full bodied, full flavored, and enjoyable. Cheers

bottled, pours medium amber with no head, very aromatic hop presence...live a fresh handful of hops, wonderful full mouth aroma of hops with not as much bittering compared to full hop nose, light lasting sweetness, not at all as sweet as majority of barleywines, feels more like a super ipa without carbination then a barleywine.

Aged bottle (based on the lack of hops) Sweet rather full bodied, nicely balanced mouthfeel on the edge of sticky. Flavours of raisins, caramell, dried fruits and other typical barleywine characteristics. Even with the absence of hops it’s a very typical american barleywine with caramell in focus. Tasty never the less.

Aroma is mostly citrus hops and some alcohol. Pours a beautiful mahogony color with a lasting off-white head. Taste is caramel, smoke, wood, and plenty of citrus hops - almost more of an Imperial IPA really. Alcohol is noticeable, but hardly overwhelming. Surprisingly drinkable too. Mouthfeel is thick without being syrupy. This is an enjoyable beer.

Very hoppy flavor covers the taste of alcohol. This is an odd creation in the Barleywine style.

Drank it last nite at ghawener’s house. Pours a dark amber with a nice thick head. Excellent caramel malts, sweet, then the citrus from the hops. Warming beer.

22oz bottle courtesy of bhalter8. Pours a hazy dark amber color with a thin tan head. Little retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet and floral with pine, citrus, grapefruit, floral hops some hints of yeast. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of grapefruit, citrus, caramel, honey, floral hops. Generally medium body with a floral hoppy finish.
