Pours dark amber with thin white head. Lots of citrus in the nose, grapefruit, and some tangerine. The taste is medium malty, with lots of hoppy, citrus, grapefruit awesomeness. Very good.

On tap at Bare Hands. Pours a darker amber with a slight khaki ring for head: very nice looking. Nose is quite complex: raisins and dates, molasses, prunes, strawberry seeds, apricots, caramel. Taste is lots of sweet, but a solid bitterness rounds out the edges. Palate is smooth, slightly sticky, with a lingering finish. Some alcohol heat detectable. This was super fresh, and while I would be interested in a more aged and mellowed version, this was way drinkable, especially as it warmed up a bit. Local barleywine! I couldn’t be more excited. Nicely done.
