Jan 13, 2008 Poured from a 22-oz bottle a bronze color with a reddish-tint. Strong odor of alcohol along with citrus hops. Taste was a harsh bitterness. Very hoppy with strong presence of alcohol. Some malt sweetness was in the finish, but it didn’t really balance out the bitterness.

Jan 10, 2008 Bottle. Nice IPA or double IPA., no idea why it is called a barley wine. This thing has agressive hops aromas as well as aggressive piney hop flavors.There is some fruitiness as well and some caramel but predominantly there is hops.

Jan 10, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a two tone copper red and orange color with a slight head. Lightly carbonated. Reeks of peaches, apricots, floral hops, and alcohol. A big malty sweetness dominates the flavor- the medium body holds the flavors nicely and makes it highly drinkable. Finishes with a big floral hop and alcohol bite.

Jan 6, 2008 22 oz. Pours dark copper with a thick off white head. Big hop aroma, pine, grapefruit, balanced with a thick malt. Malty thick taste with lots of hops, caramel and alcohol. Finishes with a hoppy bitterness. Avery is great at making over the top beers and this is no exception. Get ready for hops malt and, in the end, being much more buzzed than ou thought you would be. Very good.
