Apr 11, 2008 Unlike many barleywines I’ve tried before...really delicate and easy drinking. Seemed even lower than 9.2% at first impression. Would def. drink again...22 oz. portion is nice, too...

Apr 4, 2008 22 oz bomber purchased at Spirits RB. Pours with one of the largest heads I have ever seen on a BW. Clear deep reddis, amber with a HUGE frothy slightly off white head that leaves tons and tons of lace. Very hop heavy aroma with tons if citrus shining through, subtle notes of caramel, toffee, white grapes, and grass. Medium bodied that is slightly syrupy and average carbonation with only very slight alcohol warming. Malts take over in the flavor and kick the hops to the backseat, caramel, toffee, biscuit, grass and citrus rind. I had this at a blind tasting and glad that I am getting to sit here with ten times the amount to drink all by myself.

Apr 3, 2008 Pours deep red-brown hue with medium white head. Mellow aromas and flavors make this quaffable barley wine deceptively light in character. Not bad, unassertive, a good pleasure pocket for times when BW is calling out but you don’t want to have to chew. The hops are integrated with the sweeter malts, it’s outstanding feature is balance.

Apr 2, 2008 Pours with an off-white heady with a hazy amber body. Great lacing. Aroma of sherry, raisins, cherries, caramel and alcohol. Flavor is bitter with some caramel. Creamy body with light carbonation.

Mar 31, 2008 Pours a clear copper body with small tan head. Aroma is sweet floral, grapefruit (aka pacific NW hoppy). caramel malt and just a hint of alcohol is also noticable. Flavor is a slap in the face hops and malt combination (not much yeast present). Really more of a American Strong Ale or Imperial IPA, if I wasn’t such a hop head I would have downgraded this one. Tastiest Barleywine I have had in some time.

Mar 30, 2008 Really getting drunk by this point, so my memory is a little hazy. Very hoppy barley wine, sticky, resinous, like caramel but without so much sweetness. Quality barley wine and good value too.

Mar 28, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a murky, amber. Small, white head with a good amount of lacing. Aroma of citrus hops, caramel. Big, malty flavor with a hop kick. Finish is a bit bitter. Alcohol really comes through as the beer opens up.

Mar 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours red amber with nice white head, slightly laced. Nice hop aroma. Deep hop taste with bitter after. More ale and less wine than some barleywines.
