Jun 5, 2009 Served in a snifter that accentuates the sweet, roasted peach aromas. Presented with a rich head and deep, auburn body. Taste of sweet maple takes over the taste buds and it finishes with a bright hop tinge. Fantastic beverage...I’m glad they started offering this monthly instead of seasonally.

does not count  Feb 15, 2009 This is the best beer Four Peaks has to offer, an excellent barleywine. It usually doesn’t last very long when they offer it, last year one batch only lasted 6 hours.

Dec 7, 2008 Tap at Brewery. This is one of those beers that is right on the border between styles, like Hvedegoop. This one is so hopped and not malted enough to balance it that it comes off as a darker Imperial IPA. Sort of a tart syrupy hop effect like a Dogfish IIPA. I would order it again only for the glass. Some aging in another vessel besides stainless would help a lot IMO.

Dec 7, 2008 On tap at Scottsdale pub. Incredible meringue head that rises high above a fiery burnt orange body. Delicate lacing left its mark all over the inside of the glass. Extremely hoppy for the style. Grapefruit, orange peel, and lemon zest balanced by caramel malt, honey, and brown sugar. Thin for a barley wine, which I like. Not at all syrupy. Very good brew...probably the best Ive had that was made in AZ.

Dec 5, 2008 On tap at the Scottsdale location. Pours a cloudy amber with a HUGE cream colored head and nice lacing. Nose is citrus hops and malt. Taste is lots of tart citrus hops and some sweet caramel malt. Comes off more like a DIPA than a barleywine, which is cool with me. Medium creamy mouth feel. Good stuff.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours a warm ornage color from the tap at the brewery with a large tan head that leaves pleanty of lacing. They serve it in a bizarre glass that I’ve never seen before, but it seems to capture the aroma well, which smells of sweet red apples and orange rind. A bit sour for a barley wine in my opinion.
