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.

Pours a deep brownish orange thin cream colored head. Musky citrus aroma, acidic and strong hop presence. Strong deep citrus flavor, like biting into an orange/grapefruit. Nice smooth hop finish. Palate is intense but insanely smooth. Very well balanced, fantastic beer.

Pours a reddish brown with 1 finger of soapy tan head. Aroma of hops, malt, and citrus. Taste of hops, and citrus bitterness mesh with maltiness and go down quite enjoyably. Alcohol is well hidden in this bareleywine. Pretty good barleywine, OINK!

Aged bomber with no freshness date. Dense amber color with lasting tan head. Big hoppy aroma with underlying maltiness. Similar flavor profile, with caramel notes. Medium body, reasonable carbonation. well-blended hops and malt, with alcohol very understated. Nice.

Bomber bought a few months ago. Aroma still has a fair amount of citrus (lemon & orange) hops; sweet malt. Quite a bit of bitterness; semi-sweet malt; a little bit of warming alcohol. Mouthfeel is smooth and light on carbonation, but is a little thin and sticky.

The body is a caramel hue with a creamy head. The aroma is a malty hops. Flavor is malty but with this pleasantly dry and bitter. Nice creamy mouthfeel.

Pours a nice, dark reddish amber with a fine off-white head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is of sweet prune malts with some fat citrusy hops. The flavor is similar - nice and sweet and first, but finishes bitter and relatively clean. The mouthfeel is nice and creamy. Really nice brew overall, one of the better barley wines I’ve tasted.

750 ml bottle into snifter. Pours amber red with about three fingers of off white, slowly dissipating head. Strong hops and prune odor. Interesting taste- a lot softer than I had expected. Starts off with a soft sweetness from caramel malts, with a hint of molasses. Pretty interesting barley wine.

Pour a cloudy orangish amber color. The nose haa sweet scent, hops are noticable, roasted malt, hints of dark fruit. The taste is a bitt hoppy, with molases, and roasted malt. A very thick body. Overall the beer is balances out and is very good.
