Mar 28, 2007 The texture on this beer was very smooth. Pours a rusty copper colors. Sticky on he lips. Nice sweet nose. Alot of sugar. Finishes with an arsenal of hops. A lil steep on the price. One down side........... the wax makes it hard to open the bottle, kind of like a suspensful moment.

Mar 27, 2007 Coppery pour with a fluffy off-white head. Big piney, hoppy nose. Sweet malty taste with hints of butterscotch, caramel and grapefruit. Big hop finish. Very silky on the palate. Wonderful.

Mar 26, 2007 Appearance is deep copper with a nice off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, caramel, piney hops, maple, and citrus. Flavor is complex, sweet, hoppy, and strong. Lots of hops, caramel, toffee, malt, pine, grapefruit, and sugar.

Mar 18, 2007 copper/brown color, minimal head, beige. aroma is loaded with piney hops and caramel maltiness, brown sugar, and butter. I know the description reads citrus hops, but they are overpowered by piney hops to me. aroma of alcohol is quite faint. flavor is light to moderate alcohol, piney hops with the citrus hops more noticeable in the flavor, brown sugar, caramel and an underlying earthiness. This is indeed a behemoth of a beer. However, at $15/bottle, I’ll never have another. Value-wise, there are many better barleywines out there.

Mar 15, 2007 Updated: Mar 25, 2007Draft at Piece brewpup. High rating is well deserved. Flavor a great balance of sweet caramel malt and grapefruit/citrus hops. Alcohol strong, but not overwhelming. Some chocolate hints. Great mouthfeel.

Mar 15, 2007 Updated: May 10, 2007Draft. Probably the best barleywine I have had. The flavor was mostly of very sweet malt, that was complex with superior mouthfeel.

does not count  Mar 11, 2007 It’s a Thanksgiving feast in a bottle. A hint of cranberry and sweet potato with a caramel gravy. The hoppy breadcrumbs stick to your palette like turkey stuffing. As robust as the lady who adorns the pink wax coated bottle. Three cheers for three floyds.
