Jul 21, 2007 This strong wheat based barleywine was very interesting and pretty drinkable but only one. Due to its 9+ percent alcohol you could really taste the alcohol which overwelmed some of the more interesting character of the beer.

Jul 17, 2007 Draught snifter at the Clybourn location, June 26 2007. A huge overflowing light tan head tops the dark, translucent copper body, lasting and forming thick filmy lacing when it finally subsides....big hoppy aroma, woody-piney resinous character is dominant, caramel sweetness shows up after a bit, and bready malts are eventually distinguishable, though alcohol is not....the body is extremely sweet, though a sour and meatallic note shows up late accompanied by wheat-bread tartness....vanilla and caramel overwhelm at first, but the finishing bitterness eventually dominates, creating a fairly harsh but syrupy outcome....interesting, doesn’t entirely work for me but not bad I guess.

Jul 10, 2007 Brown/amber with a medium sized head. Aroma is sweet with brown sugar and orange rind. Taste is warming with a richness of dried fruits, almost burnt caramel and honey. I loved the types of hops used.

Jul 8, 2007 A growler from Goose Island? Ooh, ooh, have to try this one... Sampled at the RBSG ’07 Grand Tasting room. Pours a clear amber brew with a thin creamy off-white head that dissolves to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of toffee, sweetened wheat, citrus pdeel and a touch of dark berries. Taste is full bodied, sweet with some wheat dryness to the tongue. Finish is sweet with a rough whiskey alcoholic feel. There is even a slight yeast aftertaste too. Nice.
