Pours a nice ruddy brown with a whispy tan head that evaporates quickly. Aroma is hoppy and laced with spices. Very broad flavor, but light on the tongue. Sweet and hoppy with a spicy leave and the ping of a higher alcohol content. VERY nice.

Mildly hoppy aroma, rubyish brown color. Very little head. Spicy flavor, but not overwhelming. Warming all the way down.

Pours amber with no head. Aromas malty sweet, with some spices. Powerful flavor, very malty, smooth, alcohol blends nicely with the sweetness. Yes this is a very nice American Strong Ale.

On tap at the 2003 Toronado Barleywine Festival: Nice citrus hop aroma. Great slightly sweet flavor. Not really a barley wine but good. I'd like a pint of this!

A strong version of Poppy Jasper maybe? Very good stuff. Spicy nose with hints of sweetness. Cloudy light brown with a small head. Flavor is clean, with smooth bitterness and a slight floral flavor. Finish is also clean. Easy to drink and easy to consume too many...
