Jun 27, 2007 Updated: Jun 28, 2007The best way to describe this stuff is that it’s a whopping, massive tongue buckler. The up front flavors of citrus (tangerine, grapefruit and orange) along with floral hops, make you think your drinking an IIPA. But right behind that, is a massive malt backbone and warming alcohol. Hell yeah, it’s a bit raw. It’s 85-90 IBU’s for chrissakes. A fantastic beer.

Jun 24, 2007 Dark red/brown with a smallish tan head. Nose has some grapefruit, chocolate, a touch of rubbing alcohol. Flavor is quite rich and sweet, with a good dose of grapefruity hop bitterness. Lots of nice barleywine notes under there that might come out with some age--tobacco, caramel, almonds.

Jun 20, 2007 bomber. the beer is a beautiful glowing shade of amber. only a small tan head sits on the top. strong and dense malt aroma with hints of spice and hops hiding behind the malt. leaves heavy lacing doesn’t describe it. this stuff paints the glass. Begins with a massive malt base. creamy texture and a thick oily mouthfeel. hops dominate the back end with potent pine and herb notes. the finish is looooooong and strong with loads of mediciney hops and plenty of alcohol. take it slow and enjoy.

Jun 19, 2007 Updated: Jul 2, 2007I really liked this one. Pours almost the color of a trappist ale. Hoppy and malty taste with sweet fruit notes. Awesome, my personal favorite barley wine. Has notes of caramel too. Awesome!

Jun 18, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy deep brown colour with a nice creamy beige head leaving a good lacing. Sweet aroma of hops, citrus, pine, toasted malt and alcohol. The flavour is sweet with a lot of hops, citrus and fruity with toasted malt, caramel and alcohol. The finish is bit brunign sweet with bitter hops.

Jun 17, 2007 22 oz bottle, maybe 2 years old. Murky dark brown with a lacy tan head. Nose of caramel and grassy hops. Bitter, buttery bite with caramel-apple. Medium body and light carb. A hoppy barleywine to be sure but now quite balanced. Good stuff.

Jun 16, 2007 Bottle pours a murky, dark amber with small white head. Strong dark roasted malt aroma and a little bit of caramel and cane sugar notes. Wonderful mouth feel. Not much in the way of noticeable hops in the taste. Tasted more like a strong ale than a barley wine. Drank this with some deep-fried jalapenos and pickles at Hot Shotz in Indy. Good brew.

Jun 13, 2007 Fruity nose of alcohol and grainy malt. Pours a sparkling copper with ruby highlights. The lovely cascade produces a mostly lasting tall beige rocky head that leaves behind light lace. The well balanced flavor is light on acidity. The roasted grainy finish has moderate to heavy bitterness. The thick body is syrupy and soft.
