| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 2, 2008 It’s a SESSION ale, you see. Meaning you are supposed to drink large amounts of it during sessions of conversation, Super Smash Bros Brawl, or drinking. I, personally, since I am so hardcore, use barleywines as session ales. My sessions are pure awesomeness. agillespie81 (205), Denver, Colorado, USA

Moderate hops in the aroma, balanced with malt. Medium bitterness with moderate mouthfeel. Burnt grain and hops aftertaste on the palate, with slight notes of malts. Not bad, one of the better beers I received from my Beer of the Month Club. Johnroy (32), USA
