May 15, 2007 Bottle. Complex in aroma and taste, and almost perfectly balanced. Malts smell of roasted grain, caramel and filberts with a moderate smell of orange and pine for the hops. Yeast leaves a soapy note, backed up with prune, cherry, port wine and alcohol. Appearance leaves nothing else to be desired. Red/brown in color with a long lasting rocky, light brown head that clings nicely to the glass. Flavors range from sweet and salty to start and acidic, bitter and salty for the finish. Medium bodied, oily in texture with a soft carbonation and long dry, slightly astringent finish. Another beauty from Great Divide.

May 11, 2007 Hazy orange color, medium lasting off-white head. Aroma of hop and fruit, caramel malt. It’s good, but not really special. What’s so good about this brew, is the massive hop bitterness. It lingers on and on, jaw breaking bitterness, rolling on your tongue like a tsunami. I don’t like the sharp sour kind of barley wines, but this massive hop wonders are more my kind of beer.

May 5, 2007 Bottled. A gift from Dennis Bell. Heavy hop\citrus aroma as soon as bottle is poped. Nice mahogany pour. Slight roast flavor with a definite citrus hop bite. A good brew. I have had better Barley wines but this one was definetly a champ.

Apr 29, 2007 I am really enjoying this one. The malt is almost over powering. Definitely a sipper. Thick, malty, and really not too hoppy. A beer lover’s alternative to wine. I do think, though, that I prefer Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot barleywine.

Apr 26, 2007 Bomber: Big on hops aroma, with a plum texture too caramel malts nicely mixed with some pine needles and grapefruit. Appearance is a muddy reddish/orange with a medium sized tan head that lasts. Flavor consists of bitter malt notes, with another big hop notes nice warming brew. The caramel and some toffee come through with this brew. Overall, a decent barley wine. It’s not my favorite for this style but definitely drinkable.
