Bottle, batch 70 Pours a deep orange with a gorgeous thick light tan head. Aroma of sweet fruits, candi sugar. Flavor of initial hops bitterness, followed by a sweet, fruity finsih. Lots of citrus and tropical fruits, lemon, melon rind, pineapple, lime. Nice mild, bitter hops balance the sweet fruits. Alcohol warmth in the throat but no alcohol presence in the taste. WOW, this is an excellently constructed beer and so tasty in the mouth. This beer is top-notch and the by-far best barleywine I’ve ever had.

(USA) Pours a hazy orange color with lots of carbonation, sediments, and a sm-foamy white head. The aroma is of brown sugar, fruits, and spices. The taste is well balanced, with a caramel, some spices, hops, burt malts, and a warm alcohol finish. The 10% is presant but not overbearing. And there is some wonderful lacing in the glass. :)

Deep golden color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is of hops, citrus, and fresh fruit, with a hint of caramel. Flavor is fruity, sweet, mildly hoppy with spiciness and a subtle rye flavor. Warming alcohol character.

Thanks to Santa for this one. Pours out a very nice slightly reddish golden color with a nice lacing head. Aroma is of some nice sweet fruits with slight bitterness. Taste is complex with sweet fruits, sugar, earth and some slight bitterness, the alcohol on this one doesn’t creep up until the finish. Very solid.
