Tap at MBGSF. A pepper beer. A barleywine. Not exactly the combination one is looking for during a 97 degree outdoor festival. This is heavy and harsh, and all the intense bitterness and sweetness that comes with a big barleywine is exaggerated here by the chilis. On another day, I may have enjoyed this more.

Sampled from the tap at the 2010 GTMW. Poured a cloudy yellow brown with a light brown head that lasted throughout the beer. A hint of sweet grains on the nose but overwhelmed by the spicy peppers. Flavor was similarly overwhelming with plenty of spice from the peppers and just a slight grain undertone.
