Aug 31, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours amber with small off-white head. Aroma is of sweet malt, brown sugar and a little booze. Flavor is very sweet with brown sugar and malt. Does have the big hop flavors like most american barley wines which nice every once in a while. Hides alcohol well and is balanced enough you could have more than one.

Aug 17, 2008 12 oz twist-off stubby bottle, pours a coppery amber, and has a unique sweet aroma, accented by salty and bitter notes - immature green hops flavor, hops bitterness is present but not seamless. medium-bodied, particularly for a barley wine, and surprisingly light on the finish. (perhaps it’s just drier than the aroma and flavor would imply?) good beer, but unrefined as a barley wine.
