May 30, 2008 I loved this brew. It definately "Kicked my ass" just like the label on the bottle read. The aroma is kind of musty actually, which i didnt mind. Sweet fermented aromas surrounded by malts. Each sip finishes somewhat tangy with alcohol, brown sugar and licorice in the taste. Appearance is copper colour with a alcohol aroma in the off white head.

May 19, 2008 Bottle from the brewpub; amber/copper in color, forget about the head. Aroma was consistant with a fairly typical barleywine; alcohol, malt, caramel, fruit and toffee. Flavor left a lot to be desired. Mildly sweet and bitter. It just seemed a bit unrefined and lacking balance. A pretty poor example of the style in my opinion.

May 16, 2008 12 oz bottle from ucusty, thanks Dave. Pours a deep orange/amber with a large white foamy head. Aroma of alcohol, grain, rye, wet grass and earth. Medium to full bodied with noticable alcohol warming and average carbonation. Flavor of grain, alcohol, fruit rind and malts. Great name, great bottle, hoping for a great buzz from the 10.5%.

Apr 15, 2008 bottle from ucusty. clear amber colored pour with a completely and quickly disappearing white head. aroma is very malty with hints of orange, woodiness, brown sugar and floral hops. the palate is rather sweet with a boozy finish which leaves a warm glow in the belly. flavors of sweetened orange, brown sugar, citrus pith, grassy/wood hops all noted. lightly bitter finish. medium body. slick uninspiring mouth feel with a ’flat’ texture. not terrible just boring.
