Commercial Description:
Huge sweet body, big flavors and high alcohol levels, this beer is best enjoyed by a raging fire. Complex caramel sweetness is well balanced by generous hopping, delivering an intense, smooth drinking experience. Intense fruity caramel malts, citrus hops, and alcohol notes waft up to tickle your senses.

Clear amber pour, off-white head. The nose is very hoppy, citrusy, with caramel and fruit. The flavor is grapefruit, caramel, light fruit. Wierd. this is more like an IPA than a BW. A very good IPA, but an IPA none the less. The finish is again a citrus hop bittering, residual fruity sweetness. Nice thick syrupy mouthfeel. VERY enjoyable beer, but not my favorite BW. I tend to like my barley wines to be darker, thicker, more fruity, less hoppy.
