Commercial Description:
This is our first really strong ale brewed and the beginning of our entry into the Barleywine festivals such as is held at the Toronado pub in San Francisco annually every end of February. It was also our 500th batch of beer brew so we figured we were due to brew a strong beer like this by now. It was brewed on 8/30/99 and had an S. G. of 1.080 and a F.G. of 1.014 for and a.b.v. of 8.8%

Aged and stored. From 2005 I think. Aroma of brown sugar and bitter hops. Reddish brown color. Flavor is a mix of christmas trees, sweet brown sugar, and sweet toasty malt. Obviously the hops have become a little subdued. Big, sweet, and damn drinkable. Pretty good stuff.
