2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20Aroma was bit earthy yeasty notes with some stinky definitely ringwood character. poured dark amber with a small head. retention dissipated quickly. Flavor was malty with at least for me the yeast character blasting all other flavors out of existence. that yeast character being funk (but not in a good Belgian way). full bodied with lower than normal carbonation. Overall a big beer, brewed with ringwood leaving all of its flavors that I don’t particularly care for and make it hard for me to taste anything else.

12 ounce bottle via Timfoolery, nice head and fizziness, malty, not overly boozy. Simple but good.

Strange beer. The fruit flavors in this combine in a really odd way. Not bad tho
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark amber with a thick off white head. Aroma is light pine hops with a very slight fruity element. Flavor is a little sweet with a tiny bit of hops in the finish. A little resinous in the finish though the body is a bit thin. Aftertaste is bittersweet. Not bad, but it could be a bit more impressive.

Bottle. Pours copper with a dissipating off-white head. Nose is mango, pine and a touch of caramel. Taste is a variety of tropical fruits, namely mango and pineapple with a strong caramel backbone. Palate is full and smooth. Bit of alcohol bite throughout. Nice beer.

Decent, if a little flat. Also I don’t think that mine was quite this strong...Pours dark, little head or carbonation. Sweet, not very hoppy, and smooth. Good, not amazing.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Location/Date:Bottle split with Dave on 4/7/2013 during S3E2 of GoT.
Appearance: Pours a medium caramel clear.
Aroma: Aroma of caramel, light booze, faint bread.
Taste: Light hop, strong caramel, somewhat sweet.
Palate:Medium light body, light aftertaste.
Summary: Going through my collection in the great inventory reduction of 2013, so getting kinda burnt out on the style - but this is really well made, I like the lightness of the appearance and the body.

Split Thy Skull event at Tat Moms. Clear dark amber. Slight lacey head. Medium body. Wildflower honey. Tangelo peels. Nice syrupy aroma. Slight turpentine. Slight rancid butter. High alcohol not hidden.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear amber pour with a tiny white head. Nose is juicy juice, campfire wood smoke, sweet caramel malts and toffee. A weird combo of aroma. Sweet juicy raspberry and dark fruit flavor, lighter smoke and sweetness. This is interesting and hard to pinpoint but not bad.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On draft at the Mad Fox Barley Wine Festival, Falls Church VA. Pours a cloudy amber with an off white head. Aroma of grape soda. Sour flavor. Probably off.
