On tap at brewery. Deep hazy ruby with just a rim of bright white head. Aroma is true to description of leather and smoke, prunes, raisin, cereal, molasses. Taste is smokey, a bunch of molasses, raisin. Sticky, dry finish. I love thee.

Bottle, big thanks to Mike. Darkest brown with little tan head. Aroma is full of dark fruits, prunes, raisins, molasses. Taste of prune, raisins, molasses, leather, tobacco. Thick and sweet with low carb. An excellent and interesting beer

This beer is very sweet. It has a strong flavor of figs / soy sauce. Good dessert beer.

Dark brown pour that is almost black. Single finger head with some lace. Thick mouth. Leather on the nose. This one is chewy. Chocolate, roasted nuts. Very complex but highly drinkable.

Hair of the Dog Adam. Serving: 12 oz. bottle from bytemesis. Thanks Mike! It pours a ruddy brown color with a surprising head given the ABV. The nose is a decadent mix of dark caramel, dried dates and figs, and molasses. The flavor follows suit with a good bit of sweetness and a surprising mix of dried apple, baked pear, white raisin, and light prune notes on the tongue. It starts off silky and slightly oily on the tongue but finishes fairly dry thanks to the alcohol. A little tobacco emerged as the beer warmed. A delightful close to the day, even in the oppressive heat of an early summer.

Dark fruit, caramel, cotton candy, and a bit of chocolate. Great malt with some smokey character. I really enjoyed this one.

Batch 88, not yet on the vintage guide so I assume its pretty fresh. Has the a typical barley wine smell, rich carmel, figs, sweetness. Pours a rasin brown with a nice finger of head. On the taste side, up front there is a fair bit of smoke, but it does not over power the brew, there is also some carmel, fig and it finishes with a bitter (hoppy), smoke and sweet finish. Rich, complex, and blends a lot of different elements together with perfect balance. The best non barrel aged barely wine I have ever had. Cheers!

Aroma: Sweet malt, dried figs, muscovado sugar. Appearance: Brown with ruby highlights and a thin, but persistent tan head. Flavor: Dark sugar, malt, alcohol with semi-sweet hoppy finish. Palate: Full bodied with minimal carbonation. Overall: Drinks like a Wee Heavy on steroids.

Pours a dark brown and beige head and some lacing. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, tobacco, dark fruits. Taste is very rich, lots of burnt sugar, dark fruits, chocolate, peaty, leather. Full body and medium carbonation. A real sipper, definitely a winner here.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks avrashi. Cloudy brown with tan head. Ink, squid, sweet sugar and prune with slight smokiness in the nose. Roasty, very bitter, edgy, fruity-prune taste. Smooth texture, full body, mildly carbonated, dried-fruit finish, raisins. Rich and interesting.
