Pours a transparent bright copper with a spotty, thin off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramely malt has a touch of light fruity esters. Body has some drier alcoholic notes and semi-sweet caramel maltiness toward a warming finish. Needs more sweet malty balance to hide the alcohol better.

August maroon-cider body with creamy burnt beige top. Luscious aroma full of medium crystal malts and dollops of fruitiness, punctuated by juicy pineapple bursts. Candi apple body, sweet like ice wine and with a powerful presence of candi malt and overripe fruit character. Wet hoppiness with juicy, fruity, sweet tea finish.

Bomber courtesy of bvc pours clear sparkling deep copper with thin off white head. The aroma has firm muted nearly moldy grapefruit, mild yet assertive citrus hops, pine, a mild level of spicy hops and a touch of floral. The taste has loads of various hops with smooth spicy hops, pine, floral, grapefruit and tangelo. Beneath all those hops is a thin layer of caramel and sweet maltiness. Great balance, great smoothness and a great American Style Barleywine. Thanks Boundary Bay!

couleur cuivre, col blanc cassé.
Arôme et goût de fruits noirs, malt caramel, sucre brun, céréales, sec au palais avec qcq notes de houblons et donne une amertume qui reste bien en avant sans pour cela prendre le dessus. Alcool est bien présent.
Le caramel reste présent tout au long de la dégustation qui fini sur un aspect fruité et caramel.

Pour is a deep murky brown with no head. The nose is caramel, malt, and dry, resinous hops. The taste is a murky, dank caramel malt with a funky hop presence. The palate is medium to heavy thickness with a chewy presence. Decent BW.
