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.

Caramel soaked apricots and resiny hop nose. Soapy small head that lingered, reddish amber color. Rich caramel sweetness...multi-layered hop bitterness. Tight carbonation, full body and silky, long complex finish, alcohol is almost completely masked by flavors. One of the best "Barley Wines" I’ve ever had!

Dark amber with dark cream head. Nice, bright, citrus and carmel and hop scent. Very satisfying malt and hops flavor, a bit sweet, but well balanced with bitter. Alcohol not overly evident. Pleasing finish.

Bottle. Pours a deep amber, almost brown. Sweet caramel aroma with a nice dose of dry hops. Flavor is about the same. Rich sweet caramel up front followed by a strong hop bitterness. Pleasant earthy and smoky aftertaste lingers in your mouth. Very Nice.

Color was carmel with scant eggshell head. Aroma was scenty with maltiness and a bit of citrus after wiff. Laces well with a lot of heaviness. after finishing this beer felt like I had lunch.
