Bomber. Poured an amber color with a creamy off-white head that somewhat lasted and left great lacing. The aroma was of grapefruit and sweet malts. The flavor found grapefruit and hops upfront and a caramel and dark fruit ending. Very slight alcohol background. Medium body with light bitterness throughout. Excellent!!

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle pours rich amber brown. Frothy head laces nicely. Fantastic aroma that is inviting. Rich malt flavor with a nice amount of sweetness. The finish is nice and dry with some hop kick and alcohol. This is a very good barley wine.

Sep 2, 2008 Great appearance and aroma! Nice and dry, especially for a barley wine, which also lends towards the great mouthfeel. Extremely well made, lacks the cloying sweetness found in a lot of barley wines. The best barley wine I have had in a long time.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle. Clear, light amber pour with a little head. Ton of floral hops in the aroma. Smells more like a IIPA than a barley wine. Plenty of hops in the flavor as well, but also some sweet maltiness and alchol in the finish. By far the hoppiest barley wine I’ve ever head. Still very tasty!

does not count  Aug 28, 2008 Excellent late evening brew. Great with chicken dishes or sauteed vegetables as it’s slightly sweet (not bitter) and full of mellow hops. I had heard that Saint Arnold’s Divine Reserve #6 was modeled after this brew. Rumor or legend?
