Jun 28, 2008 Pours a brilliant clear orange with a short-lived head and a sweet malt aroma. Tastes much more promising than the other half-pints stuff: stong & malty but with great hops to balance. Citrus (orange) with a lingering spicy aftertaste. Very big, very bold, very tasty. Great carbonation, thin body. This would be amazing with cheese. Finally, a home-run for half-pints
Edit: I got tons of lace & a lovely head on the second pour (day later). Much more impressive. Lots of yeast sediment, though - I wasn’t expecting that.

Apr 12, 2008 22oz bottle. Understated aroma of rum soaked dark fruits, some citrus rind, thicker, bready malt as well. Pours a thick, dark copper with virtually no head. Toasted malt, lots of citrus zest, some wet oak notes, pine resin. Assertively spicy, but there’s a delicate herbal and floral quality to the beer that makes it most interesting. Leaning toward full bodied with a perfect amount of carbonation for this style of barley wine. Thanks Scott!

Apr 12, 2008 Poured a clear orange copper color with a small off-white head. The aroma is moderately hoppy with citrus notes. Sweet fruity malt mixed under that. Malty flavor mixed with a fair amount of citrus and mild pine hops. Nice hop finish and warmth. Medium bodied. Light for a bw but very drinkable.
