Mar 9, 2008 a lights out winter that you can drink to the cows come home. If you are ever in the Seattle area during the holidays make sure you stop and get a pint of this refreshing winter brew.

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.

Nov 2, 2009 Ouch. A lights out version of their seasonal Bi-Frost winter ale, this kicks you in the teeth and then slashes away at your tongue. Sweetness is a bit much for some and can be considered cloying at too warm a temperature. A fine winter warmer and fireside sipper. A touch of grapefruit acidity in the finish. Stronger and less drinkable than original lower gravity Bi-Frost.

Apr 10, 2008 On tap at Elysian Winter Fest. Slightly hazy dark amber. Big hops in the aroma and taste make this right up my alley. Drinks pretty darn smooth for >9%. Spicy mix of hops. Not too sweet. Love it.

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.

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.

Jun 3, 2009 Aroma was very barley wine like. Lots of malt up front, bread, biscuit, dougn, caramel, with a hint of alcohol and some floral and pine hops as well. Pours a murky golden orange with a thin head. Lots of malt up front as well in the flavor. More doughy sweetness, bread, caramel malts. A medium sweetness, with a spicy alcohol note followed by a medium hop bitterness in the finish that is floral, a little peppery. Not overly bitter, like I said it came across as a barleywine IMO. Pretty decent stuff.

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.
