Dec 11, 2008 Nice hazy gold color with a creamy white head. Strong aroma, mostly sweet malt, but some nice apple, lemon and peach as well. Flavor is made up of a sweet fruit, rock candy, and nice bit of citrus/floral hops. Pretty potent stuff. Smooth, full mouthfeel. Very good overall.

Dec 11, 2008 Pours a hazy body with a thin white head. Aroma is lemony. It almost reminds me of a sour but with a little more malt to it. I rather like it. Flavor is much like the aroma. It is quite sweet. Probably sugar cane. However, there is a nice sour character to it. It is certainly a nice take on the barley wine style. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Good beer.

Dec 8, 2008 Updated: Feb 22, 2009Batch 72. Pours orange with a thin off white head. Sweet malt aroma with caramel and candy sugar. The flavor has dark fruits, sweet caramel, candy sugar, and just a touch of floral hops. Smooth and enjoyable. 7/3/8/4/16
Batch 63 Pours red amber with an off white head. Sweet caramel malt aroma. The flavor is malt dominated and lightly sweet with caramel, a hint of toast and toffee. 7/3/7/4/15
I prefer the balance of a fresher batch.

Dec 4, 2008 Clear orange-red pour with a thin white head. Fruity malt aroma, caramel and peach. Roasty flavor with sweet fruit and caramel. Smooth. Hides its alcohol well. Hoppy finish.

Dec 3, 2008 Aroma of alcohol, apples, lemon rind, and brown sugar - but it can barely get up through the thick frothy white head. It was hard to pour, it bubbled up very quickly. A cloudy yellow color. Flavor of more alcohol, spicy cloves, some subtle grapefruit hoppiness, and loads of sour yeastiness right at the end. Almost too harsh - this is a big beer, but I think it works okay. It may need to be aged a little while longer. Batch 73.

Nov 30, 2008 Bottle: Pour is very thick but medium golden in color. I forced a head but could only get just a thin light tan head. Aroma is of strong floral yeast and sweet malt. VERY full body with sweet malt, alcohol, light fruit, citrus, and a hint of pine towards the end. Nice beer with a slightly bitter finish. Good brew with a ton of complexity. Buy two of this beer and age one.

Amazing brew! Poured an amber body with small tan head which left excellent lacing. Sweet caramel nose, over ripe fruits. Taste was amazing and very complex; sweet candy, brandy?, sweet fermented fruits and spices. Oily on the palate, lovely finish. Alcohol and sweet malt strengthens as is warms. This is a top notch barley wine!
