If you are ever in the Seattle area during the holidays make sure you stop and get a pint of this refreshing winter brew. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Draft from Toronado Barley Wine Festival. Amber colored, rich hoppy aroma. Some caramel malt backing. Maybe some light spice notes as well. Cool stuff. Bier brauen (215), Bremerton, Washington, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 2, 2007 On tap at the Seattle winter beer festival at Hale’s. Smooth yet strong, pale and powerful. Bittered with magnam and finished with Amarillo and Styrian Golding hops. I voted this one best of show at the festival. It also has a uniqueness to it, that it’s has a kind of earthy aroma to it.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 1, 2007 On tap at Holiday Ale Festival in Portland, OR--A light hazy golden-orange body with a medium whitish head. Spicy, boozy, piny aroma. Alcohol very prominent in this beer. Color is deceptive. Robust malts and evidence of tannins from barrel aging. Decent beer, but I’d rather have the Bi-Frost instead. beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 30, 2007 On tap at the Holiday Ale Fest 2007. Pours orange with a white head. Very boozy nose, lots of excess alochol throughout. Spicy hops, very crisp and piney with fruity malts to balance. Less excess alochol flavor would have made a very nice beer. boFNjackson (1322), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 30, 2007 Holiday Ale Fest... Orange with a white head. Faint malt and hop aroma, very herbal. Silky and smooth palate with sweet hops and pine, strong malt to balance it out. Oak and bourbon was in there too.
