Feb 17, 2009 On tap at Toronado for Barleywine fest ’09. What suck-ups! The beer is named after Toronado’s address! Oh well, it’s a great one at least. Reddish-brown color. Aroma of citrusy west coast hops and sweet malt. Flavor is more of the same with caramel, citrus, and pine. Fairly full on the palate.

Dec 30, 2008 Tap at Carlsbad. Deep red amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is quite herbal and malty. Grassy noble type hops initially, but as the beer opens up a nice citrusy/grapefruity character comes to the fore. Soft fruity sweetness mixed with a lingering hoppiness. Quite a nice ASA.
