Who releases a barleywine when it is 110 degrees outside and you dont have air conditioning? Hello MCFLY! I thought this beer was more like an american strong alle than a barleywine not enough hops, was rather thin I thought, even so had to drink 3 glasses of water with it just to get it down because of the heat. If they have any left in a couple of months when the weather is cool and it is barleywine season I will try it again.

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.

Apr 24, 2008 <i> ’06 Vintage </i> Good yellow head on orange-golden beer. Very hoppy (USA) nose, cookies and quite some malts. Hopoil, hopcookies or -cake, diverse dried fruits (mango, fig, peach). Burning MF, quite aggressive and harming the balance. OK, maybe enjoyable, but not really great.

Oct 25, 2007 Scottsdale location. Pours to a very viscous, slowly settling, dark hazy amber body with a tall creamy, foamy off-white head with nice retention and lacing. The aroma is sweet barley, toffee, caramel, and bright citrus grapefruit hops punch through. Very smooth drinking at 11.5%. Sweet but not too bitter. The beer was very drinkable.

Oct 19, 2007 GABF ’07. Pours hazy tawny with a large, frothy, light brown head, lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, nutty), heavy hops (perfume, pine, resin), average yeast (sweat, earth) with notes of alcohol and peach. Full bodied, alcoholic texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.
