Mar 27, 2009 The hoppiest Barleywine I’ve ever had. If you didn’t like barleywine, this is the one to try. Brings in a caramel finish that works well to round out the package.

Mar 27, 2009 Thours poured a ruby red to brown color with almost no head. Aroma was of dark fruit, alcohol and hops. Flavor was bitter hops but not much hop flavor, caramel and some dark fruits. Not the greatest tasting BW but hid the alcohol very well.

Mar 27, 2009 22 oz bottle. Resin,floral hop aroma, with earthy and fruity undertones. Cloudy amber with an off white thick head. Very bitter at first and finishing sugary sweet with a lingering bitterness. Medium bodied, with a creamy, thick mouth feel. Soft carbonation with a long sweet finish. This is a great barley wine, there are lots of hops (100 IBU’s) but I love hops. The high alcohol is masked well.

Mar 25, 2009 Dark amber with a thick beige head. It left a thich ring of lace around my glass.
Smell is spicey and floral. I also detect pine and hopps. Very sweet and earthy.A sweet creamie taste in the beginning turns into a bitter hops with some citrus acidity. It also has a great malt taste to it.Very smooth and well balanced. The alcohol is not powerful for being 9.2% ABV. Carbonation is really not noticable.

Mar 24, 2009 22 ounce bomber - $5.99 at Bullock’s in Marietta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazed, deep amber body with a frothy, off-white head.
Smell: Sweetish hoppy aroma smelling of juicy grapefruit and orange wedges stirred up with some sugar and caramel sauce.
Taste: Sweet, sugary caramel malts shift towards fruity flavors of citrus a touch of pine simply bursting with hop bitterness. Splash of fresh-brewed tea. Pinch of white pepper. There’s a bit of alcohol heat in the bittersweet, fruity finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium carbonation. Fairly smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: It’s one of those self-proclaimed American barleywines that finds more akin with Double IPA’s. Worth a try.
