Year old. Pours deep orange to deep amber. Heady is dens frothy and lasting. Nose is medium caramels, toasted malts, breads, earthy hops and stick dark sugars. Flavor is rich caramel malts, toasted grain, Munich malta, toasted sweet nuts, sticky sugars and breads. Thick creamy palate. smooth. nice. flavor profile is herbal and earthy hops mixed with caramels. A barleywine for sure. enjoyable. Very bitter finish.

Shared bottle with friends. Poured a small off-white head with a slightly cloudy red/ruby color. Aroma is sweet malts. A bit of a harsh, alcohol burn. Was a bit better as it warmed up.

Very good malting, with a good bitterness in the finish. Light red bodied, a big bubbly head. Lacey. Interesting.

amber reddish pour, nice head. nose has some bready notes with decent resin hops nose. flavor is beautiful, well balanced some booze again bread notes with some well balanced hops.

Let the bottle warm out of the fridge. Poured with a nice cream colored head that settled out out and good lacing. Color is a hazy medium amber. Aroma is malt, hops caramel. Body is good and so is carbonation. Finish is like flavor and has good length. Fairly hoppy for an Irish. Could be a session.

22 oz bottle. Cloudy reddish amber with a small off white head. Big aroma of citrus, caramel, bread dough and honey. Flavor is rich bready and caramel malt with a medium hop bitterness and a light alcohol bite. Medium body with average to low carbonation and thick, smooth mouth feel. Nice beer, very balanced with lots of rich malt and hop bitterness.

6/24/11. Bomber. Hazy red pour with a small tan head. Musty, malty aroma with an overly malty bitter flavor (ie: not from hops) that lingers with a hint of coffee. Meh.
