Bottle from the Natomas BevMo. Pours a dark ruddy copper with a foamy 3 finger off-white head. Aroma is very caramel. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. Body thins as carb leaves. Flavor is rather sweet. Not sticky tho. First cuz to a barley wine. Malty, fruity and hoppy enough to keep it from being a poor taster. Nice and different ale.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle… Pours clear and amber with an orange tint with a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. The aroma is kind of sweaty and smells a bit like dried dark fruits and dried fuzzy fruits – mainly dark raisins. Full-bodied, thick and oily with tickling carbonation. Sweet and syrupy. Raisins and dates stand out. Finishes warming and sweet. Bottle courtesy of hankchinaski!

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Amber pour with a thin white head. A slightly ruddy-orange appearance. Nose is quite hoppy. Lots of fruity esters and stewed fruit. Lots of orange peel as well. Fruity malts - lots of dried fruit and light toffee as well. Earthy/fruity hoppiness and a bit of sweetness. Chewy and fruity with plums and berries. Really British in mouthfeel and balance with peppery alcohol on the finish. I think it would age pretty well.
