*hated it, would never buy* aroma: smells like a pepper hop mix with a sweet malt backdrop.. smells like a headache. i like the dry pepperiness. app: ok. brown water water with a lil small hint of magic. flavor: pepper, acidic, i dont like it. it has no pleasing malt flavors. the hops just hurt but add nothing to the beer, the pepper is odd and out of place with the bad sweet malts. palate: who cares. its fine. overall: is a headache. i dont like this beer. none of the flavors are things people want to taste. bad balance.

Thanks to toncatcher for bringing this to the Alesmith Release party line tasting. Aromas were very sweet with dark fruit flavored malts. Flavors were similar but almost too sweet. Alcohol in the flavor too. Just OK

Shared at Cornboys Barley Wine Blind. Pours a super light brown with a soapy loking white head, a fairly far departure from the other BW appearances. Aroma is all sulfur, yuck. Top of the bad aroma with a thin watery body and tons of sulfur in the flavor. Wow we have a contender for worst barley wine.

Merritt Island Throwdown ’08: Bottle. Pours a caramel apple color, with a thin watery head, and decent lacing. Slight booze in the aroma, with molasses and brown sugar. Decent amount of hops. Grainy flavor, fair amount of malts. Hops are subdued, and there’s a slight tartness. Bourbon? Nah. Sticky, medium-body. Flavor is lacking overall.

Thanks to Brian for this one. Brown body with a tan head. Sweet candy aroma. Flavor has bitter hops up front, maltiness, caramel and no barrel or bourbon character noticeable. Finish is dry and slightly bitter.

#19 beer on a 28 beer blind BW tasting. Poured a clear gold color with a small white head. Earthy hop aroma that actually smells like a lager. Some notes of sulphur and toasted malt. Malty and toasty flavor. Warming and semi-sweet.
