Sep 2, 2008 Bomber, thanks, theisti. The body was deep amber to copper with a khaki head. The aroma was massively sweet with caramel and apples. The taste was sweet toffee with some apple core. A nice tobacco spice hint. A decent brew.

Aug 29, 2008 2008 vintage 22 oz. bottle served in trappist glass- poured turbid darken amber with red tints, light carbonation, 4mm off white head bubbled away a little too quickly, small groups of foam for lacing. Aroma of a caramel malt and citrus hops. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, sweetness can be found in the background of a well concealed hopbomb that goes from the start to almost the finish, ends bitterly. Not sure what to make of this one... just seems out of balance to me.

Aug 28, 2008 A lot of candied caramel in this. Definitely seems like a 3 hour boil. Not too much hops coming through. The candied notes aren’t too sweet or cloying.

Aug 28, 2008 Golden amber body with a nice sized head that leaves pretty solid lacing. Citrus hops galore in the aroma, sweet malts form the backbone of it. The flavor is just a bit too strong in terms of alcohol. Finishes with plenty of a hop bitter in the throat and a lingering caramel malt note.

Aug 27, 2008 Bomber shared by theisti. Pours a clear reddish brown caramel with a thin khaki head and spotty lace. The nose is a bright, hoppy, doughy blend with a solid malty backbone. Medium-bodied and slick with a bitter, woody finish. Bright, "green" hops over doughy sweet malt. I like it. It may not be a top-tier barley wine but it’s a nice drinker. Thanks for sharing this with us, Tim.

Aug 26, 2008 A really neat barley wine with a sound hoppy nose. The flavour is dominated by caramel, thats deep and mellow. The hops show through and impart the beer with notes of tropical fruit and grass. Ends quite bitter and balanced.

Aug 25, 2008 Updated: Aug 27, 200822 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Pour is clearish cordovan with a 1/2 inch off white head. Aroma of rounded citrus and pine hops. Some malty sweetness underneath the initial hop bitterness. Taste of sharp maltiness, roast and pine orange hoppiness. Some weird residual chemical going on. Palate and aftertaste are hang around a bit too long. Hmm, not real big on this. Its drinkable, and nice enough, just didn’t fully come together to me.
