22 oz bottle. Pours a thick lasting tan head, with nice lacing, over a dark golden slightly cloudy body....nose of malts, resin, bitter and slightly floral hops....initial taste of sweet malts, then hop spice, with a bit of molasses, finishing with a pronounced hop bitter. These big creations must be hard to balance. KUDOS!!!

Aroma of sweet and spicy fruit. Lovely amber beer with small beige head. Fruit, nuts, bitter almonds. Grassy and dusty hops balances the sweetness impressivly. Alcohol warming in the background and in the finish. Outstanding!

dark orange beer poured into a glass. aroma of mostly malt with a hint of hops. the taste has a good balance of hops and malt. it leaves a satisfying taste of hops hanging in your mouth after a bitter finish.

2008 Bottle – Pours a bright orange/red that is rather cloudy. Smells of fruits, malts and hops. First sip is surprisingly light, creamy, and fruity. The hops are huge, even borderline sticky but not biting or overpowering. Finishes with a strong alcohol presence and a sharp bitterness. Great mouthfeel and a great Barley Wine.

From bottle. Part of April Dayton Beertasting event. Pours dark amber with large tan head. Aromas of toasted malt, toffee and hops. Excellent barley wine with slightly bitter finish. Love the Stonies.
