Pours a copper color. Has a sweet hoppy flavor. Really a great beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draft at the Oakroom in Athens. The waitress said it was 10% ABV. Copper colored and clear, with a small tan head. Impressive floral hop aroma for a barley wine, with some alcohol as well. Very smooth, with a medium body and little alcohol evident in the taste. Not too heavy. Very good.

Seasonal draft. Malty, sweet aroma. Malty flavor initially, with a good hop flavor and bitterness on the finish
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Seasonal on tap at the brew pub...Sweet aromas of caramels and malts. Alcohol was pretty evident. Finish was a bit hoppier then I expected. This got better as it warmed. Not a bad barley wine.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft sample at brewpub. Poured dark copper with an average fizzy off-white head that was mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Heavy tart fruit, dough and alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Heavy balanced flavor with a heavy bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the Columbus Microbrew Fest - Pours copper quite cloudy with a big tan head that stays well and laces the sides of the glass. Good aroma of citrus with grapefruit and pine over nice caramel and toasted malts. Flavor is pleasantly malty with good caramel and toffee notes that are balanced well with the citrus and pine hops. This is definitely a big beer but the alcohol is covered well and this comes off as a well balanced barleywine. A fair amount of carbonation and a soft mouthfeel. Pretty tasty..
