Draught: Lightly sweet and lightly bitter aroma. Smells of hops, resin, and grapefruit. Poured a dark amber color with a medium-sized, creamy, tan head that lasted throughout. Great lacing. Sparkling. Cloudy. Flavor was medium bitter and medium sweet. Started bitter with piney hops, then became very malty with flavors of roast and alcohol, then became hoppy again with citrus and grapefruit notes. Also tasted of caramel malts in the hoppier sections. Hops -> Malt -> Hops. Medium to full body. Viscous texture. Average carbonation. Hoppy finish. Overall, a very complex beer that was still very drinkable.

Draft at Capone’s. Cloudy orange color. Good lacing. Citrus/orange hops, along with some spice and hard candy. Alcohol was pretty well hidden. Spicy and bitter finish. Very nice.

Draught at Capone’s. Cloudy orange body with nice head. Aroma is hoppy, rich malt. Flavor is very hoppy with a nice rich malty undertones. Finishes well, I need some more. Smooth for the ABV. This one went down to fast. I need to pick up a few bottles for aging.

Draft at Capone’s. Hazy medium coppery pour with minimal off-whitish head. Aroma is caramel malt, fruit, including figs, orange zest, cherry, cognac, black pepper, even a hint of cheddar cheese. The palate is rich and very complex, with flavor notes of caramel malt, fig, brown sugar, cherry, cognac, slight peat mossy bourbon spirits, hops, and some spiciness. All in all, this is a world class barleywine, and one I’ve been seeking for a long time.
