Dec 14, 2008 1 Litre swingtop from the MJRBC. Pours copper with a thin off white head. Smells of sweet malt, some citrus, molasses. Tastes of sweet plums, some molasses, lots of caramel. No bitterness to counteract the bitterness. An English barleywine all the way.

Dec 8, 2008 Courtesy dchmela. Clear amber color, sparse tan head. General sweet aroma, caramel, no defined hop presence. Very sweet candied malt taste, a little hops, but a very general brew.

Nov 19, 2008 Thanks dchmela for bringing this to the McBackus Backyard Bash. Pours a black cheery color with a caramel and malt aroma. Some good dark fruit flavor in there and just slightly thick mouthfeel. Pretty good beer. My bone is sufficiently warmed.

Oct 27, 2008 Courtesy dchmela. Pours mostly clear and dark reddish-amber in color. A thin, tan colored head leaves micro-spot lacing and runny legging on the glass. Aromas include a huge caramel malt base, followed by hints of roasted nutes, lactose, and a hefty dose of floral and citrus hops. Flavors follow suit, caramel malts being balanced by citrus hops and orange blossoms. Medium-full bodied and lightly carbonated, the mouthfeel is slightly lacking. This is basically a barley wine in all material respects, and a decent one at that.

Oct 25, 2008 Tasting at the McBackus Backyard Bash. Dark amber pour. Big malty hoppy aroma. Very barley wine like. Malty caramel taste with hints of the bitter hops. Slightly thin mouthfeel. Very drinkable, comes across as a slightly weak barley wine.

Oct 25, 2008 Bottle... Backus’s Backdoor Bash ‘08... Cloudy burnt orange ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. Lots of caramel and roasted nuts in the nose. Full-bodied and chewy with laid-back carbonation. Mostly sweet; moderately bitter. Vanilla and caramel. Finishes caramelly and sweet. Big time thanks to dchmela for bringing this bottle to the Throwdown!
