(bomber from Coaltrain in Colorado Springs, sampled 2/9/10). Dark amber color. Medium off white, rocky head. Aroma of moderate citrus and spiciness, with light caramel. Flavor of the same. Long duration. Light alcohol finish. Slick texture. Soft carbonation. Fair lacing.

Pours a deep red with a great head and lace. The aroma is grapefruit and melon with some roasty and caramel malty notes. The flavor is bracingly bitter with plenty of grapefruit, some caramel, and lots of earthy notes. Some brighter fruity citrus character hangs out in the back ground. Reminds me a bit of bigfoot.

22oz bottle split with a friend. This poured a ruby red with a rocky white head on top. The smell was really hoppy and a little sweet. The taste was hops, hops, hops. Also some raisin flavor and caramel. Overall this was excellent. The first bottle I had must have been infected because it tasted like barnyard funk. This bottle was excellent.

Tap at Petrol Station Houston. Dark brown and filtered. Sweet and bitter with a generous hop profile. Alcohol is upfront but this is a very smooth and drinkable barleywine. Dangerous.

Draft at Southpark Tavern. A hop bomb of a barleywine. Aromas of fresh hops and malt, the pour is amber and clear. But what makes this a bw to remember is the hops, glorious hops. A bw with 100 ibu’s!! The flavors consist of malt, fruit, hops and spice. This big beer hides all traces of alcohol making it sweet yet hoppy, a complex beer and one to truly savor and enjoy.

Aroma is full of richness... Candy sugar , thick caramel, toffee, buttery toast, and citrus. Flavors are similar to aroma, chewy, and good. Full, mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden. A winner!
