Dec 14, 2009 Orange-amber with good, frothy head / Pungent nose of weed, hops, and spice / Medium body, lightly sweet, with good malts attempting to counter a big hop punch, with excellent finish / Flavors of pine, caramel, cough drops, and licorice / More towards a double ipa than a barley wine, but terrific in any case.
