Nov 27, 2007 22 oz. bottle - clear amber with huge off-white head and lots of lacing; sweet aromas of caramel and malts are strong and pleasant; tons of flavor (mainly brown sugar, fruit and caramel) as it goes down smooth and creamy; this one’s a good one

Nov 25, 2007 Cask at the Blind Tiger. Dark amber pour; no head. Lots of grapefruit and tropical aroma (maybe guava). This comes through in the flavor also, and is followed by a nice amount of malty bitterness mixed with hop bitterness. Pretty good tasting beer.

Nov 23, 2007 22 oz. bottle, from slob, thanks man! Pours clear dark garnet amber with a huge off-white head that leaves ample stringy lace. Aroma of caramel, toffee and ripe fruits, including orange, apple and nectarine, spicy pine as well. Rich, sweet malt character with a huge bitter hoppiness as well, ripe summer fruits, toffee and brown sugar, grapefruit rind, pine oil, white pepper and an alcohol burn. Smooth, full body and gentle, tingly carbonation. Very nice beer for a malty hophead!

Nov 14, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of sweet malt, lots of dry, bitter hops. Some crushed berry fruitiness. A nice woody component. as well: pine, oak and cedar. Pours rich amber with a frothy off-white head. Definitely on the bitter end of the barleywine spectrum. Lots of oily pine and heavy, grassy bitterness. All is balanced well by the requisite amount of sweet, sticky caramel malt. A hint of creamy, sticky peanut butter as well. Full bodied, fairly creamy with good carbonation. Finishes quite dry.

Nov 10, 2007 Dark brown with some red and a large white head. Nose is sweet with hints of fruit. Taste is somewhat hoppy, though not as much as some others. Hardly any alchol present. Mouthfeel is sticky with light carbonation. Good BW.

Nov 8, 2007 Redish amber with a small white head. Lots of fruit tones ( raspberries ? ) Bittersweet, fruity taste. Medium to full body with a bitter finish.
