COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An elixir from the first runnings of a batch of pale ale, this intense brew features lots of everything- hoppiness, malt flavors, and alcohol.

Brown in color with no head. Malty in your face. Sweet caramel and biscuits. Nice citrusy fruit. Kinda tasty!

I can truly say that I love Copper Creek. This brewer is truly a wonder. Every beer rocks and this is no exception (if I ever buy a brewery, I’ll spare no expense to get him to leave Copper Creek or either work double-duty). Cloudy copper with a big head, at least for a barleywine. The aroma is fresh grapefruit rind hops. Great aroma. There’s a bit of that barleywine butter/fruit. There’s a bitter finish and bit of soil. It’s not really over the top, but could perhaps benefit from a bit of aging.

I am impressed with these guys everytime I try their offerings. I thought this was the best beer at the GA Craft Brew Challenge. Poured a dark ruby color. Very big dry hopped aroma. Aroma also of dried fruits that carried over the flavor. Sweet medium bodied with a minor bitter hop backing.

Seems to be in the style of the English Barleywines, with a sweet maltiness that carries the flavor. The hops are huge, but mostly for aroma...as the finish doesn’t have the strong bittering part. Caramel, toffee and maple syrup are the common elements to the aroma and taste.
