| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 12, 2009 Medium brown, cloudy and thick. Minimal head. Hoppy aroma with some sweetness. Flavor is strong, rich, extremely hoppy but has a little sweetness and easy to drink considering the very high ABV. Not something I’d want to have more than one, or two.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 11, 2009 12 oz bottle from Walt!!! Nose of a Barleywine, caramel, raisins, brown sugar, with a hint of piney hops. Murky opaque brown with a small light beige head. Flavor is light bitterness, brown sugary sweetness, toffee, and a lingering bitter finish, more prominent than in the beginning! Too bad I can’t get this in CA! nbutler11 (741), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 6, 2009 Bottle from Stan at Lone Hill. Aged one year. Pours a thick amber color with a faint beige head that leaves respectable lacing. Smells of malt and caramel, completely eclipsing the hop profile. Tastes like apple seeds and molasses. Very reminiscent of Pannepot with a slash. Tough stuff at 13%, but worth seeking out. drunkysersose (18), Michigan, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 17, 2009 Bottle thanks to Pantanap. Hazy, brown color. Nose is super hops, sugary, and waters my eyes. Tastes starts off very bitter, a bit nosy and tart. Floral qualities come through along with the obvious hop and malt profile. Alcohol is upfront and evident. Full smooth mouth and almost too easy to drink. Dangerous beer that got me off to a roaring start. I have not been actively searching out hop bombs for some time but this was a nice one. kiefdog (1585), Tampa, Florida, USA

POurs dark amber with tan head.
Aroma is loaded with caramel and light traces of hops.
Taste, thick mouthfeel, superior malty presence all to the way to the finish, adding for some sugary notes. Light hops, very smooth and grainy. This is 13% and really didi not feel like it.
