Sweetwater Donkey Punch!

Copper appearance with a fairly thin white head. Aroma is strong citrus hops with slightly earthy undertones. Flavor is very hoppy with a somewhat sweet malt finish. Hops linger throughout however, especially in the aftertaste. Very powerful beer, perhaps a little overbalanced, but still rather enjoyable.

Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy amber color with an average beige head. Nose is citrus, pine, caramel, and darker fruits. Medium to full body with a smooth mouth feel. Big hop flavors in this one, loads of citrus, pine, and caramel. Notes of alcohol are present throughout. Finishes slightly dry and bitter. Not sure why they call this a Barley Wine maybe DIPA would be a better match.

Pours a red brown. Nose is all the usual suspects for a big hopped beer. Citrus, grapefruit, lemon, pine, etc. Flavor is loads of hops, sticky, resiny, dank hops. Some caramel, but mostly hoppy and bitter. warming booze! I’d say this is closer to a IIPA than a Barley Wine. But damn good none the less.

Pours amber with tan head. Aroma and taste are very similar. Pine hops slowly build up and then gets hit by a wall of malt to make this a blissful finish. Usually not a huge fan of barley wines, always have a tough time distinguishing them, but barley wine this stands out.

Bomber pours a great clear orange with nice billowing head and decent lacing. This must be a fresh bottle, because the aroma is amazing resiny pine hop. Flavor has lots of honey hops, floral, and big malty backbone for balance. Very similar characteristics to Hopslam. This is absolutely phenominal. I consider this to be more of a DIPA than a barleywine. Almost no I would want to drink this as soon as it comes off the bottling line, not cellar it like any other barleywine. Awesome label, and only $6 a bottle!

Bottle, how they got away with this name is beyond me. Pours an amber body with a tan head. Sweet and malty with a salty etoh warming. Pine and sticky malt caramel and grapefruit. Warm, sticky and salty, wait thats not how it goes.

bomber. hazy rich orange pour with a small off-white head and some soapy stick. boozy aroma of toffee malts and oranges. sweet syrupy caramel malt taste with very little carbonation. bitter hops work there way through to a fairly quick finish. a little on the medicinal side for me.

Pours an orange amber with a thick off white head. Big citrus hop, caramel aroma. Smooth malt forward taste with lots of hop bitterness. Solid.
