Clear medium amber color with a surprisingly good off white head that is quite persistent. Marshmallow malt aroma with some hops in the background. Light fruit begins to come through. Mild flavored for the style. Predominant hops with a mild malt background. The alcohol is completely hidden. I’ll bring the others of the four pack out in time and re-rate this one. I’m interested to see what it will become.

Bottle. Pours reddish amber with off white head. Nose/taste of candi sugar, earthy hops, malt, caramel and slight herbalness. Medium body.

22oz bottle in a snifter. Pours deep copper with a lacy, light beige head. Aroma of caramel malts with a little cereal and dough, plus a decent amount of hops. Flavor about the same, with the malts and bitter hops blending well. Smooth texture. A pretty good beer, but not the best for its style.

Bottle. Amber in color, very thin white head. Slight caramel taste and a very hoppy finish.

Bottle. Pours a hazy mahogany brown with a short beigh head. Aroma of toasted malts, caramel and pine. Flavor was caramel, citrus hops, brown sugar, pine and had a hint of toffee

Bottle. Pours a copper orange with a inch of cream colored head. Nice little carb bubbles in it. Very nice looking beer. Smells and tastes of light caramel, maybe a bit of vanilla, citrus, more grapefruit. Has a bit of a alcohol smell and hops a fair amount of hops. This was fresh beer not aged more then a few months. light sweetness, very bitter, lightly sour, medium body, oily feel, bitter long finish. I myself would like this beer to mellow out a bit maybe not as bitter. It was kind of a mess all over but still really nice, seemed to be a bit close to a darker ipa.

Bottle. Clear amber pour with a small white head. Hoppy nose. Citrusy hop notes and weak caramel malts. Poorly balanced..

Bomber that I had for a year. Hazy orange, light aroma. Not a huge hop ale, but not without bite either. Variety of fruits in the malt. Slight alcohol warmth, and some citrus hops. Nice enough BW, but not top drawer.

Smooth easy drinking malty barley wine. I had this beer with about 2 years on it, the hop profile had faded significantly, very approachable and easy to drink. This BW is definitely on the lighter side.

on cask at J Ryan in Syracuse NY. Med cascading foam off white tan long lasting. Uncarbonated hazy body. Very smooth initial malt flavor with a strong afterlux orbiting hops and medium alcohol. Subtly smooth tasty and strong. Mild hop aroma fine foam long lasting lace. Mild citrus nose. Very tasty with a strong subtle alcohol buzz that creeps up on you. Beware, this Droid bites.

22oz @Tampa Weekly Gathering-that I brought-pours a retaining tan head and amber color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-caramel, herbal. Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel, spice/herbal hops bite.
