stoutlover72 (1313), NorCal, California, USA Jan 31, 2006 Had on tap at the brewery, this is a definite malt monster. A bit cloying for me overall, although not horrible. Notes of raisins and caramel apparent in the aroma. Pines, caramel and malt in the flavor. Goes well with the St. Louis ribs they serve. KrausenJockey (561), Stockton, California, USA Mar 9, 2005 At Beerapalooza Strong Ale class. Big malt bomb with notes of dried fruits and figs. Quite a caramel malt flavor with a sweet finish. jazz88 (2191), San Francisco, California, USA Mar 2, 2003 Tap @ Toronado Barley Wine Festival. Amber color. A little pine, fruit, honey, plums, and caramel. mwsf (359), San Francisco, California, USA Feb 16, 2003 On tap at the 2003 Toronado Barleywine Festival: Citric hop aroma. Big malt presence. Light body. Not bad though.
