Commercial Description:
Our American-style Barleywine undergoes a three hour boil to intesify the caramel malts and the enormous Pacific Northwest hop charge. The result is a rich, estery brew with toffee notes and citrus hop flavors layered throughout. Enjoy this brew fresh today or lay it down for aging to see how the flavors of each vintage evolve.

Red-brown colored with little yellow head. Raisins dominate this aroma with toffee and chocolate. Medium to full bodied. Flavor starts with overly sweet raisinny tone, aftertaste has strong hops, still sweetness lasts. Well, sweet and hopped, not too balanced still.

Bottle. Pours a nice brown color with an offwhite head. Aroma is malty and has a strong hop presence. I get hints of caramel, citrus and some malty notes. Not as much caramel, toffee and such as I normally like in a BW. Flavor is quite hoppy and lacks the full body and flavor that i look for in a BW...but this is a well crafted brew.

Bomber courtesy of Indulgence. Pours a clear dark amber with a 2 finger beige head that leaves nice lacing. The nose is caramel and dark fruits with light floral hops. The taste is caramel, brown sugar, sweet dark fruits and some citrus hops on the finish. Medium body – decent BW. Thanks Tom!

Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark chestnut color with a large orange-tan head. The aroma was dry, harsh and bitter fruity and floral hops with a touch of cherry. The flavor was bitter and harsh with fruity hops and sour, nutty malts. There was a hint of molasses underneath. The finish was long, bitter and harshly hoppy. The mouthfeel was moderately thick. Enjoyable if unspectacular.

Pours reddish brown with thick off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of caramel, floral hops, and malt. Taste is heavy with toffee, caramel, and nice hoppy bite. Alcohol burn present in the finish. Very thick mouthfeel. Caramel malt coats the tongue. Very good.

Bottle. Waaaay to phenolic. Real hot alcohol and way too much harsh bitterness. There was no blend at all in this brew, jeez. I am really disappointed.

Bottle 65 cl. Average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Hazy golden light brown color. Aroma was strong notes of malt, bread, grain, mild oak, and a solid floral and grapefruit notes. Over the palate came caramel and again solid hoppy feel. Full bodied with an average carbonation and thick dry mild alcoholic texture. Moderated bitter and sweet in balance. Lingering dry thick hoppy, oily and bread like finish. Lovely.
