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.

A fine barely wine in my books. Drank from a snifter it has a very miniscule head, good lacing, kind of milky and muddy in colour. Extrordinarily malty and carmely. There’s a lingering aftertaste of choclolate and hops.

Bottle at No5. Amber with a large beige head, good lacings. Aroma heavy malty (vanilla, pines, plum, citris, bitter chocolate) and hoppy. Flavor heavy sweet and bitter, long. Medium/full body, soft carbonated. The alcohol is felt!

From a 22 oz bottle (I love that label) this poured a red to amber with a medium tan head and decent lacing. Nose is floral hops, and mouthfeel is very smooth. Flavors are dominated by the nops with some sweet caramel malts. Finish ls long and slightly bitter. This is amazingly easy to drink and hides the alcohol well. A first rate barley wine.

From memory. A fine barleywine, but not quite on par with Great Divide’s Old Ruffian or Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot. Nevertheless, this is a great barleywine

Nice hop character. Pours a very nice rich red color. Nice hop character and sweet malt. You can smell and definitely taste the alcohol. Leaves your tounge a lil numb after a couple.
