Commercial Description:
At 10.5% alcohol by volume, barley wine style ale is in a class all its own. Intense caramelized flavors create sweetness which is balanced by huge additions of Galena hops. Cascade aromatic hops are added at the end of the boil to compliment this strongest of ales.

Bottle courtesy Ibrew2or3. Pours a candy caramel apple brown, with reddish golden highlights and little lacing. Aromas of sweet caramel, pear, some toffee, chocolate, and a nice alcoholic touch. Caramel flavors are front and center, with toasted malts, chocolate, waves of nougat, and rounding out with a nice bitter finish. Medium-bodied, sticky mouthfeel, bitter end balances it out well.

Bottle courtesy Ibrew2or3. Pours a hazy amber with a small light tan head. Aroma is loaded with alcohol and sweet caramel. Taste is alcohol, sweet malt, and caramel. Medium full mouthfeel with a moderate to strong amount of bitterness and hot alcohol. Decent.

Acquired via trade with after4ever. Pours dark brown to copper with a bit of haze and tan head. The aroma is malty sticky sweetness and some medium colored fruity esters. A good dose of alcohol too if the draw goes too long. The taste is sticky malt sweetness blending into fruity esters. Smooth and slick and turning into sugar coated pears along with nice lip smacking residual sweetness. Never gets too warming or hot. Nice stuff.

Bottle courtesy of ibrew2or3. Pours amber/brownish. Aroma is of barley and caramel malt. A decent barley beer. Would try it again to give it a better review.
