4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20Purchased at the source recently, Feb. 2013. Pours a cloudy orangish brown with a nice white head that dissipates quickly. Leaves lots of lacing. Slight, Three Floyd's signature hop (onion) aroma. Pallet is thick and hearty. Taste is sweet , but not too sweet, sugary malt and hops. I love thick, slightly sweet beers and this one is excellent. First barley wine I have had. Liking the style after drinking this one. Will certainly buy again. A real treat......

2009 bottle. Pours golden orange with a small white head. The nose is big caramel, citrus, pine and sweet bread. The taste is high sweet and bitter. Perfect balance with age. The texture is smooth but has some late pop. The body is heavy and the finish is long.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle pour clear amber. One of pine hop, slight catty, and some caramel malt. Taste of grapefruit, pine, then malt sweetness, and alcohol, followed by strong mid palate bitterness and nice long finish. More hoppy than most barleywines, a nice example.

Barleywines are not my favorite style of beer. Usually, they’re much too sweet and too boozy to really work for me. That said, Behemoth is easily one of the best I’ve tried. It is sweet, but not cloyingly so. I don’t feel like I’m drinking medicine or something. And though I can feel the alcohol, the beer isn’t dominated by an underlying hard liquor element. This is a beer I might actually drink again sometime. Pours a rather hazy, brownish-yellow, with minimal, quickly dissipating head. There’s a fruity, hoppy aroma and the flavor is a bitter-sweet combination of malt and hops, with a satisfying mouthfeel and bitter finish. My bottle had orange wax on it (2013?).
3.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Red wax bottle: Cherry, oats, and orange nose approaching that of apricot. Cloudy amber, fine floaties, thick yellow head. Overripe orange, triple sec. Ethereal mouthfeel, but boozy.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
2012. Unclear, ruby red. Large, lasting, creamy, frothy white head. Aroma is somewhat muted; a hoppy malty balance. Very nice balance. Big Malty and hoppy. Really very smooth and well put together. Very ’melded’...more so than any other baleywine ive had, and a bit of a pandoras box
