Bottled, served at Montreal world beer festival. Big taste, caramel, malty, fruity, sweet.

blazer06 at drowland’s tasting 7/7: dark amber pour big fluffy head. sweet malt character with some hoppy bitterness. taste of bready malt dry hop finish light booze. barley wine by label and maybe best fit but not really what i expect by a barley wine. not sure of the bottle on date.

Tallahassee, Fl - at drowland’s 7/7/12 going away tasting party - thanks to Blazer06. Dark copper pour, off-white head, nice lace. Sweet, toffee-like aroma. Flavor has some caramel accents, citrusy bittersweet notes. Nice sticky mouthfeel. First from this brewer for me - will seek out.

Murky brown pour with a tan head. Nose is candy sugar, dark fruits, flowers touch of pine. Flavor not as sweet and heavy as expected, follows nose and nice carbonation with great bitterness at the end. Pretty tasty.

7/7/12. Shared at my going away tasting by Blazer06. Nice amber pour. Floral aspects with citrus. Lots of floral. Slightly sweet entry with caramel and more of that floral aspect. Lingering bitterness. Interesting.

On Draft at WF Chandler. Dark amber, brown pour. Aroma is fruity and malty. Taste has some resin, with some mild bitterness. Alcohol flavor is present as well. It’s good, but not great.

Pours deep copper - like an old penny. Sweet toasted malts on the nose. Bitter, followed by Malta followed again by bitter. The '100 ibus' are very masked by the malt. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

[4483-20120608] Bottle. Light fruity grains aroma has a bit of a stuffy note to it. Slightly hazy, brown amber body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Funky bitter peat hops flavour is a bit too much something. Medium body. Meh, OK to sample. (6/3/6/3/13) 3.1

Poured a deep copper color with a full, dense head. Aroma is heavy in pine. Crisp for a barleywine, bitter, slight malt taste for a barleywine and low mouthfeel. Not in the barleywine experience as it’s mouthfeel has almost no residual sugars, very little intermingling of flavors.....basically it’s bitter and relatively thin. Perhaps the FG was too low, but it is easier to quaff than it should be, barleywines should be sipped.

Clear amber pour, big off white head. Toasted malts, toasted caramel, light pine hops, even an odd vinous aroma. Viscous mouthfeel, low carb. Soapy, resinous pine finish. Medium bitterness, alcohol is well hidden, a nice sipper.
