Green Flash Barleywine

Smells of alcohol, fruits and sugars with a deep red color in the glass. Malt at first taste with a strong hop backbone. Definitely a potent and tasty brew.

Pours a cloudy ruby with a wall of lace, as my friend CapnCascade puts it. Sweet fruity aroma - dates and toffee. Quite a strong malty taste - could have sat around for another year or two. Astringent strong malting with definite presence of alcohol and lingering hops with the alco-burn. Thin body with decent fine carbonation. Love the finish - nice dry hops and complex, yet not cloying sweet malting win the game, as it were.

Pours a nice dark gold with thick off-white head. Aroma strong of caramel malt, citrus hops, and a bit of spices. Flavor is dominated by the alcohol and sweetness. Not my cup of tea.

Shared at Kuhnhenn Summer Solstice. Poured into a snifter, brown with a thin beige head. Aroma is hot and boozy, with sweet malt, dark fruit, and very bitter grassy hops. Taste is caramel, hops, and alcohol. Medium mouthfeel. Pretty good, but a bit too hot on the booze.

Dark brown pour with a tan head. Aroma is alcohol and raisin. Smooth and very rich texture with dark fruit and sweet malt and a bitter roast finish.

Alcoholic caramel toffee blast. Intense flavor. Pours caramel. If you don’t like caramel this won’t go down well. Tasty, but not very drinkable, one is enough for the night.

"Green Flash Second Anniversary" according to the bottle shared at PPSG09. Poured a cloudy brown with pretty much no head. Aroma is brown sugar oatmeal and caramel. Flavor is a little to sweet for me but it is still very good, candy apple coating heavy on the sugar.

Labeled as "2nd Anniversary." Bottle at PPRBSG09. Pours a cloudy brown with a small white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt. Flavor is super sweet, with some roasted malt and vegetal notes. Very heavy on the palate. It seems that this one has not held up over time. Ugh, not a fan. 6/4/6/3/12 (3.1/5)
