Apr 23, 2008 Thanks Mike... Beautiful amber body with a nice white head. Great Barley Wine aroma, sweet and spicey... almost rummish. Awesome taste, spicey with a great hop accent. Nicehop accent in the ending.

Apr 21, 2008 Thanks to The_Beer_God for this one. Once we got through the wax, this was very close to a barleywine. Copper color with minimal head and floaties! Aroma is bread, cereal, toffee, caramel. Taste is more malty cereal, dates and raisins. Very thick and chewy. I wrote in my notes "effervescence is appropriate," whatever that means. Really good beer. Bravo Idaho!

Apr 25, 2008 Courtesy of The_Beer_God at the 6th Richmond Gathering. Medium to dark amber, slight floaties. Rich malt aroma, molasses and caramel abound. Faint citrus and floral hops as well. Sweet. Dark fruits. Flavor matches, with more fruitiness emerging as opposed to malt depth in the flavor. Nice. In fact, highly enjoyable.

Apr 16, 2008 1 liter bottle acquired in trade with jimbowood (thanks!). Poured a medium to deep amber / orange color with an averaged sized of white head. Aromas of caramel, roast, light chocolate, and toasted malts. Tastes of caramel, chocolate, some dark fruits, and lighter roast. Another beer that exceeded expectations!

Mar 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours a reddish orange with a average size off white head. Aroma is sweet with molasses, honey, banana and some grain. The flavor has a definate alcohol presence and is quiet sweet. While many may find it to sweet I thought it was a good flavorful beer. The finish is creamy with a slight acidity. The lack of bitterness may put off some but if you like sweet beers this is really good.
