3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Cloudy orange, no head- sweet aroma, hint of licorice. Not as overwhelmingly hoppy as the SN Bigfoot I had last time. Much sweeter up front, almost a candy-like sweetness. Definite bitterness in the finish. This is smoother than the Bigfoot, very enjoyable.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Good but not great. Sometimes you just want beer, not candy. A little too bitter and sweet and skunky for my taste. In a way kind of tastes like how unsmoked high-grade weed smells, which you’d think would be delicious, but just not in this form.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber, pours a deep copper/redish/orange with a small off-white head. Laces well as you drink. Nose is heavy on the hopes and dark fruits. Bitter strong attack that is followed by a deep dark hoppy/fruity finish. Very nice and complex beer.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
22 oz bomber. Pours a clear yet dark copper orange color with a small beige head. Aroma of hops, pine, grapefruit, orange and floral notes. Taste is tangy with a strong hoppy presence and hints of orange, grapefruit, pine malt. Not as sweet as most barleywines, but it holds its own for sure. Excellent.
