Mar 5, 2008 Pours a dark brown color with a nice sized beige head. Aroma of brown sugar and, wood, pine, and earth hops. I did not get a lot of the sweetness being talked about, as it was mostly pine, earth, and woody bitterness with a slight touch of brown sugar and toffee. Perhaps a touch of chocolate or roast too. Nice long dry finish. Alcohol was hard to find, perhaps slightly warming is all. Very good.

Bottle: The aroma consists of caramel, toffee, muted citrus hops, and faint alcohol. It pours a dark brown with some faint orange highlights and a somewhat soapy off-white head. The flavor starts with chocolate and toffee. The toffee really sweetens in the finish and long with some mild citrus hops and moderate alcohol. Medium bodied with mild carbonation.

Feb 26, 2008 Wow. What an incredibly interesting and unique barleywine. Would possibly enjoy a tad more malty sweetnes ... or not. I often complain about various beers being too sweet. Damn, this has such hop intensity that mixes almost seemlessly with the alcohol burn. A wild ride to say the least. I quiet liked it.
Thanks to Erin and Deniz for sharing.

Feb 25, 2008 Bottle at the Laid Back Brussels Tasting (Feb 9, 2008)
Deep, black body. Creamy, lightly brown head. Aroma of hops, flowers and malts, but not that hoppy for an IIPA. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Nice malts with some hops. Good balance.
