Apr 26, 2007 Updated: Apr 30, 2007[273-20070413] Bottle (c/o HogTownHarry, w/ him, jerc, mds, tupalev). Very hoppy aroma has strong notes of sweet navel orange rind. Clear, red body with a creamy bubbly off-white head. Very hoppy orange citrus flavour is boozy. Medium body is bitter and dry. Atypical specimen, blending could be less astringent.

Apr 24, 2007 Bomber; nose of citrus hops, light fruit, and caramel; clear cherry brown with a small beige head; flavor is lots of hop bitterness, plums, and acaramel from a medium thin body, with hop bitterness and some alcohol in the finish! Not a great barlewine!

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle shared with Blankboy, Hogtown Harry, Jerc, Mds, and Mabel, Harry’s bottle. Getting pretty late int he night at the best quality tasting I have ever been a part opf - strongest too. Nice hopped malt aroma. Dark ruby brown, small tan head. Very bitter taste for the style. Simple, but effective" lots of malt, lots of alcohol and heavy on the hops. Nice stuff.

Apr 16, 2007 Bottle. Brown body, with a small tan head. (3+) Solid hoppy aroma, quite resiny. Simple but fantastic aroma. Resiny hop flavour, not particularly unique but an extremely well executed barleywine. Fairly bitter. Medium palate. Quite hoppy. Lovely.

Apr 16, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours a deep copper red with a large fluffy orange-beige head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is spicy peppery alcohol, some caramel malt and a little melon.
The flavor is sweet caramel malts and a little fruit, followed by a harsh paint-thinner like alcohol. The finish is a brash bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste. It has some metallic notes. The mouthfeel is fairly full with soft velvety carbonation.
Overall, it’s too over the top in alcohol and bitterness. It does get a bit more drinkable as you go through the bottle.

Apr 13, 2007 On tap at Mad Mex Robinson: I see a commonality to the reviews of this beer from this location. I love barleywines, but this was simply the worst that I have ever had. The color was good, being a dark ruby colored brew, with a small off white head. The smell was something else. It didn’t smell bad, but it did smell like root beer. The taste was predominately of root beer. This was close to undrinkable. Yuk!
