Apr 22, 2008 Mossy coloured, dense head; dark amber-brown beer. Caramel, toffee with a lot of C-hops, and some bananaester. Chocolate, roasted and bits of hopbitterness, some background sweetness, caramelly. Very well-bodied, slick. Not uninteresting but I’ve had better BW’s; maybe lacking a bit of complexity.

Cloudy amber brown with decent off-white beige head. Smell is light and subtle malt and dough and alcohol. Flavor is nice and malty and is hoppy too. Not too heavy on the alcohol - actually has a nice balanced flavor and a good mouthfeel. Enjoyable and very easy to drink.

Apr 18, 2008 Slightly hazy copper color beneath a thin off-white head. Aroma of toffee, grapefruit, and figs. Toasty and slightly sweet caramel malts are followed up by a piney hop bitterness. Dark fruit flavors of plums and raisins are present as well. Finishes with a lasting juicy hop bitterness and a hint of tart fruit. A pretty decent barleywine.

Apr 12, 2008 I don’t know how old this one is, but I’ve been sitting on it for about 8 months. A malty, syrupy brew, with a noticeable alcohol presence. The hops jump out in the finish, helping to balance out the sweetness of the brew. I would like to try a younger version of this one for a comparison. I would like to see how hoppy this beer was when younger.

Apr 9, 2008 On tap at Jimmy’s. Haven’t had a huge number of barleywines, but really enjoyed it. Pours reddish amber with a thin white head. Medium thick texture, soft & creamy mouthfeel due to the exaggerated malt presence. Aroma stays sweet but an overtone of herbs; taste is nice: bitter, hoppy, and it finishes dry. I liked the combination of the bitterness with the thicker, softer texture; reminded me of Sixpoint’s Hop Obama in some ways.

Apr 6, 2008 22oz bomber. Pours a cloudy red with a massive yellow-white head that forms in the style reminiscent of a draft Guinness. Nose is a rich blend of toffee, vanilla and caramel. First taste has promises of good things to come, but not at this time. It’s raw, but pleasant. Putting this away for a year or two might be an interesting exercise. However, there is already a complexity that stands up well on its own - chocolate, toffee and an herbal tone. Mouthfeel is excellent - full bodied and oily, rounding off to an aftertaste that echoes the beginning taste - good but with a lot of potential.
