Mar 5, 2008 Nothing special. Doesn’t compare with some of the best barleywines but no off-tastes. Not too sweet, pretty well-balanced.

Mar 5, 2008 Pours a deep brownish orange thin cream colored head. Musky citrus aroma, acidic and strong hop presence. Strong deep citrus flavor, like biting into an orange/grapefruit. Nice smooth hop finish. Palate is intense but insanely smooth. Very well balanced, fantastic beer.

Mar 5, 2008 Pours a reddish brown with 1 finger of soapy tan head. Aroma of hops, malt, and citrus. Taste of hops, and citrus bitterness mesh with maltiness and go down quite enjoyably. Alcohol is well hidden in this bareleywine. Pretty good barleywine, OINK!

Mar 4, 2008 Aged bomber with no freshness date. Dense amber color with lasting tan head. Big hoppy aroma with underlying maltiness. Similar flavor profile, with caramel notes. Medium body, reasonable carbonation. well-blended hops and malt, with alcohol very understated. Nice.

Feb 23, 2008 Bomber bought a few months ago. Aroma still has a fair amount of citrus (lemon & orange) hops; sweet malt. Quite a bit of bitterness; semi-sweet malt; a little bit of warming alcohol. Mouthfeel is smooth and light on carbonation, but is a little thin and sticky.

Feb 23, 2008 The body is a caramel hue with a creamy head. The aroma is a malty hops. Flavor is malty but with this pleasantly dry and bitter. Nice creamy mouthfeel.

Feb 23, 2008 Pours a nice, dark reddish amber with a fine off-white head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is of sweet prune malts with some fat citrusy hops. The flavor is similar - nice and sweet and first, but finishes bitter and relatively clean. The mouthfeel is nice and creamy. Really nice brew overall, one of the better barley wines I’ve tasted.
