Nov 29, 2009 Oak and pineapple aroma, medium strength. Clear dark copper, medium tan head, good lace. Sweet malty up front, maple syrup. Pineapple and grapefruit peel finish. Bloody texture, nice transitions, medium body. Alcohol is evident, but to a slight degree that I misidentified the style as DIPA instead of a barleywine. Well rounded.

Nov 28, 2009 Pours deep, red rubied, and translucant from the 12oz. bottle into a plastic cup at Zeke’s Roadhouse (Miami Beach, FL): This will get you fucked up. Alcohol presence throughout, sweet, spicy, and fruity. Drinkability: A tad too sweet for my taste, but I’m loving the strong, in-your-face alcoholism going on. Rebuy: Don’t know. #225 on 28112009, DG.

Nov 27, 2009 Pours a beautiful clear dark reddish amber with a yellowish-tan fine-bubbled head. Aroma is hoppy and has a citrus undertone. Mouth-filling hoppy flavor has a firm hint of citrus, mainly lemon and orange, and is not too bitter. Texture is rough, lively and fizzy.

Nov 25, 2009 Ok, why did I rate this so high? I would like to start with the overall rating rant first. This beer gets you extremely drunk in a very short time and I had a dirty weekend because of this. Barley wine gets you drunk in a way that no other alcohol can or does. Anyway, it pours a muddy looking brown... with a really pretty tan head. Aroma of brown sugar... malts... caramel... and a few other things. Basically, it tastes like candy and even people who can’t usually stomach barley wine would be able to get this down because it is in a way less extreme, but equally complex and flavorful.

Nov 23, 2009 Bottle into mug. Really beautiful medium amber color with slight off-white head. Sweetness and some alc. bite in both the flavor and aroma. Smooth over the palate with a slightly dry finish.

Nov 21, 2009 12 oz. bottle from six pack bought in Washington, DC. I suspected that it would be sort of Belgian because of the bottle fermentation but I should have known better. It’s West coast all the way even though it is sweet. Smells like grapefruit juice. Tastes like extra sweet malt with grapefruit juice blended in. It’s a big beer but balanced with big hops and big sweetness. Not a session beer, but very good for winter. I would like to try the draft.

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle. Poured nicely with small head. Great aroma that gave off very fruity tone. Berries and other citrus I think I smell. On first taste I get the sugar and I think a lemon zest. Feels nice in the mouth, and for the high alcohol content does not feel as full as I thought it would be. Also, definitely more hoppy than I was expecting but it was a good thing. Will be getting this one again.
