Bottle at Cole’s in Buffalo, NY. Pours unclear orange with a beige head. Sweet malt aroma with some fruity citric hops. The flavor has a nice fruity caramel sweetness with a very pleasant hoppy finish. The hop profile really makes this beer, it isn’t overpowering by any means, but it really complements the other flavors well.

On tap at Toronado for Barleywine fest ’09. Amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is malt, dark fruits, brown sugar, Northwest-style hops, and the "wacky weed" if you know what I mean. Flavor is more of the same, full-bodied with alcohol.
