Aug 25, 2007 Updated: Aug 26, 2007650 ml, no date discernable. Deep copper-orange with a large, forever head. Nose of spicy resin and malt- drenched grapefruit. Initial flavor is sweet earthy pine, turning to pine-sweetened grapefruit, then finally bitter pine resin with malt in the aftertaste. Alcohol not evident. Palate is medium-heavy and smooth; surprisingly little tingle for all the hops and alcohol present.

Aug 24, 2007 bomber - fresh. my first barley wine! and what an experience... this beer is excellent. Thick and full of hops with an IBU rating of over 100. They dry hopped the hell out of this. Only for the true hop lovers. Long hoppy finish... a bit of alcohol as well. Nice deep red color with a big white head that diminished to a small but steady one. Killer beer.

Aug 19, 2007 Updated: Mar 7, 2009Poured from a bomber. Poured a deep copper-orange color bordering on red, with a decent white head. Smelled great with the hops really coming out in the nose. It had a great malt sweetness with some fruit notes that give way to a hoppy finish. It is very well balanced, and i did not notice the alcohol like some others on here have.

Aug 19, 2007 bomber. a dark ruby brown ale with a thin off-white head. nose is primarily caramel sweetness and intense hop pine. big creamy body is thicker than anticipated. loads of malt evolve through different flavors while the potent hop pine fades away. big chewy palate. strong alcohol fortifies the hops to back all the sweetness and lengthen the finish.

Aug 13, 2007 Tasted 2007-05-07. Fresh bottle. Orange/toffee coloured with big off-white head. Fresh aroma of grass, flowers, hops, bitterness, caramel and a bit of pineapple. Very bitter flavor, that doesn’t quite live up to the aroma. It’s good though!

Aug 6, 2007 Bottle @ Ølbaren. [Huge thanks to Joergen for sharing this one] Large bubbly white head that mostly lasted. Clear flat looking body with a dark amber color. Excellent display of lacework. Nice nose of blended hoppy notes and classic Barley Wine aroma. Bread, caramel, grain. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Well balanced bitter and sweet flavor. Light dry and surprisingly bittersweet and somewhat lasting finish.
