Jan 16, 2008 Fruity, hop and citrus aroma. Amber brown with frothy head that quickly dissipates. Grapefruit and malt. Well balanced, go’s down smooth. Good thick mouth feel. Very good overall. drink this bi-weekly.

Jan 16, 2008 Pours a beautiful deep amber color, nicely formed lace head. Aroma is very hoppy (hoppier than I expected). Flavor is hoppy with some understated fruit finishes. Very smooth, easily drinkable. Definitely recommended.

Medium thick amber color with thick head and pillowy lacing. Smell is sweet and hoppy. Nice big smooth creamy body - really impressed! Very drinkable. Flavor is nicely developed and not too bold. Nice finish.

Jan 15, 2008 Sampled on tap. Pours a clear amber color with some offwhite head and a bit of lacing. Smell is big and vibrant fresh and awesomely fruity hops with notes of juicy apricot like hop aromas. Taste is blanced and nicely hopped but with a caramelly sweet maltiness and a hint of alcohol as well. Ridiculously smooth and easy to drink for a barley wine. Slightly viscous body, and a fantastic smooth example of the style. Great beer.

Jan 15, 2008 Bottle. Thanks Zinister. Nice cloudy bronze pour with a small white head. strong malt and hop smell with some alcohol. Taste is pretty well balanced, but not perfect. Nice alcohol taste towards the end. Very sweet and warming.

Jan 13, 2008 Poured from a 22-oz bottle a bronze color with a reddish-tint. Strong odor of alcohol along with citrus hops. Taste was a harsh bitterness. Very hoppy with strong presence of alcohol. Some malt sweetness was in the finish, but it didn’t really balance out the bitterness.

Jan 10, 2008 Bottle. Nice IPA or double IPA., no idea why it is called a barley wine. This thing has agressive hops aromas as well as aggressive piney hop flavors.There is some fruitiness as well and some caramel but predominantly there is hops.
