Dec 1, 2009 On tap. Bartender poured to where there wasn’t any head. It’s a gorgeous reddish-brown amber. It’s a good tasting beer, obviously, but you know you’re drinking something with a unique sugaring added. I really respect this brew. To my taste would prefer less sugar added, let brown sugar flavor come out with a drier finish. Very easy drinking for nearly 10%. Would like to try the barrel-aged versions. Definitely recommended despite nit-picky drawbacks.

Nov 30, 2009 Pours clear amber with a khaki head. It has a sweet/hoppy aroma with grapefruit, mandarin orange, and cherry. The flavor is very sweet with cherries and brown sugar. The alcohol is not that noticeable. Lacks a bit of depth though.

Nov 30, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a snifter. Clear orange-amber in color with a short off-white head. Nose = Mexico. Yep... malty, sweet, pina colada nose. Sweet flavor of caramel and bread. Creamy, medium-full body, and little carbonation. Ultra-sweet, sugary finish that finishes with waves of bitterness. Very nice!

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.
