Jun 18, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Cloudy caramel-colored beer with very little head. Smells hoppy as hell, and tastes pretty much the same. Not that that’s a bad thing. Pretty darn good in fact. The 9.2% alcohol is hardly noticeable, so watch out. Very fine beer.

Jun 18, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep amber colour. Aroma of hops indeed, good frutiness, quite sweet and piney. The flavour is sweet with a good hoppiness, fruity, toasted malt, caramel and alcohol. Bitter-sweet finish.

Jun 13, 2007 Pours a dark brown, with a sparse yellowed head. Smell is rich pit fruit, caramel, toffee, pineapple and alcohol. Taste is suprisingly low on alcohol for a barley wine. Just more of the asaid pineapple, along with apples, lemon and toffee/caramel malt. God barley wine, probably about 75th percentile for Barleywines. Good.

Jun 12, 2007 Hazy copper with an almond coloured creamy head generating nice lace. Grassy resinous hop aroma with sweet toffee. Sweet toffee palate generously supported by a hoppy bite, Sweet but not cloying, very enjoyable. Thanks Tyler_Durden!

Jun 12, 2007 Updated: Sep 5, 2007(bought on vacation in Seattle, WA) Pours extremely clear. Must really filter this stuff! Nice foamy head. No aroma that I can pick out whatsoever which is funny since they say they dry hop it. While hoppyness is there its not overwhelming. Does come out on the palate in the aftertaste. Body is a little on the thin side. If and when Avery ever starts selling here in California I’d probably buy it again. As much as I like the king of barleywines, Bigfoot, this beer would be easier to drink on a regular basis. NOTE: Now available at select BevMO in California!!!

Jun 7, 2007 Nose of dried fruit & flowers, wheat & alcohol, yeast and a trickle of caramel. Pours a cloudy clover honey with melon highlights. The cascade is decent producing a mostly lasting average off-white creamy head with light lace. Warmth and sweetness of malt and alcohol abound in the flavor. Light acidic middle and grainy finish of light floral bitterness. The medium body is creamy and soft, the finish feels alcoholic.

Jun 3, 2007 To be honest, it kind of tasted like wet cat fur to me, not that I’ve ever tasted wet cat fur. Had a nice initial flavor, but then....wet cat fur.

Jun 3, 2007 I love hopped up BWs. Perfect style to add juicy hops to. This one is slightly overhopped for the amount of malts, by just a touch. Greasy hop smell with candy malts. Greasy hop flavor that washes over a fruity, tart flavor. Finishes with nuge hops. Alkee well masked. Smoothe.
