UPDATED: JUL 18, 2012 Murky brown, light brown head. Quite happy hoppy for the style, very American as well. Combined with some base dark sweetness. Surprisingly bitter as well but with the creamy base. More like a double IPA really. It is a bit harsh. Worth the alcohol. Do like it! (At Dean?s Tasting)

Bottle shared at tasting from Denk. Pours unclear brown witha small tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel but balanced with resinous hops and grapefruit. Flavour is also more hop dominant than expected, heavy sweet but then a medium bitterness hiding behind. Full bodied with soft carbonation

75cl bottle shared. Creamy off white head. clear ruby-amber pour. Sweet aftertaste. Quite strong taste but excellent. Could probably do with a couple of years aging and would taste even better.

750 ml. Hazy chocolate with a small, but lasting cover of cream and lots of sugary lace. Big nose of grapefruit, caramel, and resin. Taste delivers the same goodness as promised in the aroma, plus some raisin, cherry and chocolate. Oak, toast and some tobacco make for a lingering dry finish that becomes a bit much after a few sips. Medium-heavy body is in good balance, shows a touch of warming alcohol, and has medium carbonation. Reminds me of BigFoot, but this one has a little too much stomp. Needs a bit more malty goodness to stand up to the nice strong hop mix.

Bottle. Very thick dark tan pour, surprising amount of carbonation and an aroma of nice boozy toffee and nuts. Flavor is creamy malt, herbal and hot boozy leather. Aftertaste was slightly off putting and medicinal. Not a bad beer, but I probably wouldn’t pick this up again due to the $13 price point.

Draft at SIBF. Dark opaque orange, foamy brownish head. Worty malt, rich, elemental beer. Big distinct flavors. Hugely tasty

Sampled on tap at City Beer. A really nice barleywine served ice cold. A really thick malty brew that had really intense hopping at the same time. Quality.

Bottle. Red brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is alcohol, hop, fruit, citrus, caramel, malt. Flavour is alcohol, hop, fruit, malt, berries, citrus, caramel. Full body. Nice beer.

(Bottle) Pours brown with orange red edges with a pale nougat coloured head. The aroma holds caramel, buttery nutty cookies, honey, resin, flowers, marmalade, wine gums and canned fruits. The flavour is near medium sweet, medium to heavily bitter and light acidic with notes of wood, resin, caramel, honey and other stuff from the aroma. The mouthfeel is round and light sticky with a light carbonation. Wine gum, wood and robust malt on the finish. Medium to full bodied.

Bottle at CCB Day, Sätila 2012-07-07. Cloudy amber, lasting beige head. Raisin aroma, figs, bready, vinous, hoppy, grassy, malty, spice notes, roasted notes. Hoppy flavor, bready, vinous, figs, raisins. Hop finish with bread, raisins and spices.
