Sampled at the first brewvival festival. Pours a hazy orange. Syrupy sweet nose. And the flavor is even sweeter. I could never drink more than a few ounces of this stuff. Honey notes are huge. Definitely walks the barleywine line. But hides the abv okay.

Pours a deep amber color with off white head. Aroma of bourbon, caramel malts , wood , molasses and alcohol. Flavor is somewhat sweet and fruity, which helps to hide the alcohol, with the bourbon coming through nicely. Decent brew.

Avery Brewing - Beer Bloggers Conference 2010 – Boulder, CO
Dark amber in color, clear with a thin head. Lots of barrel aging flavors, Bourbon, oak and big malt flavors. This was a tasty beer. This had a sneaking presence for the alcohol.

I am not a Samael fan but this works for me. Maybe it’s the Reverend half kicking in but those combined with the casks tones down each. The balance is just right. Not light for sure but not a beast to drink.

full pour at dlday 2010... pours a semi-clear caramel brown with a creamy off-white head... aroma of butter, caramel, and boozy barrel... buttery sweet and boozy flavors with a smooth and creamy body. overly barreled is the impression that i get. these notes suck.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
on tap 4/15/10 at papago...
hazy coppery orange brown with a trim off white head.
rich sticky sweet aroma... honey, dates, vanilla, brown sugar, wood, a bunch of alcohol burn, bruised red apples, tart raisins, herbaceous hops, coconut and clove-like whiskey spice.
the flavor is a sweet version of the already sweet aroma with a touch of sourness on the finish. alcohol is right up front even when it comes cold off the tap.
it is definitely full bodied but it is not as sticky as i imagined. 7/4/6/3/14/3.4
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber color with very minimal head. Aroma is big, lots of alcohol, not hidden at all. Flavor is sweet, caramel, sticky, some smoke and very strong alcohol. Finished smokey and burnt with some wood and toasted caramel.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This was a guest beer at DLD 2010. There was no head. Sported a rich red color. the aroma was a huge bomb of fruits, caramel, malt, and some hidden notes of oak in the background. Flavor was extremely complex but very sweet and a syrup texture on the tongue.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Crushed at BSAF 10. Thick, syrupy mouthfeel. Very warming as it goes down, even after having a bunch of other strong ales previously. Very sweet with nice barrel character flowing all the way through. Awesome beer.
