Esta cerveza tiene aroma parecido a las IPA´s, es decir, con notas citricas, pero ademas tiene notas dulces, de azucar, y de malta. De cuerpo medio a alto, tiene un gran sabor, unico, pues es una mezcla de estilos, el sabor esta entre una brown ale y una ipa; alto nivel de lupulo, alto nivel de malta, de sabor un tanto complejo, pero facil de tomar. Desarrolla buena cabeza con buena retencion

Probably the last bottle at my special place. The pour was a nice brown with a frothy head. Aromas were VERY sweet, lots of caramel and roasted malts - while a hoppy undertone create somewhat a balance. This barleywine was pretty sweet, almost too much until the alcohol and hops make for a fairly balanced brew. I’d pair it with some sweet potatoes or stuffing!

decent white head, mishmash of favors with some dark sugar undertones. This beer was from 2010, so could have affected overall taste some.

I had no idea this was retired. Glad I was able to get a bottle. Pours a clear dark golden / amber color. Aroma is of sweeter malts, fig, dark fruit, slight resin, bark, and molasses. Flavor is also pretty sweet yet still balanced. I can pick out some malts, brown suggah, plum, grape, and some other slightly sweeter citrusness. Leaves a nice sweeter malt finish. Very smooth for nearly 10%abv.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a clear deep copper and a bubbly off white head. Nose is deeply sweet caramel malts, brown sugar. Flavor is sweet and slightly syrupy.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear amber body with thin tan head. Nose of sweet bown sugar and caramel. Slightly bitter sweet beginning of burnt brown sugar and coffee followed by a hoppy bitter/sour finish. Palate slighty oily and medium fill. I’d buy it again!
