| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 26, 2009 Good malty (some bread and earth) and hoppy mix, nice (but all) pine, and ultimately a good bit of sugary sweetness. Became cloying, sticky, a tad uncomfortable in the back of the mouth . Looked nice, smooth, slippery mouthfeel and I bet the wife will like the rest of the bottle. I felt the alch. right away! soccer290 (135), Highland Park, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 25, 2009 22 oz bottle. Ah finally, a new beer to try. Pours a brown color with hints of amber red, with a half finger high off white head that stays for a bit. Smells of lots of caramel malt, a bit of hops, and most interestingly, some fruit, which smells a lot like pineapple. Tastes of lots of caramel hops, and this interesting pineapple taste; the hops kind of died apparently. Very smooth going down. Maybe not my favorite barley wine, but probably the most interesting (especially with this pineapple). angrypirate06 (707), Texas, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 24, 2009 On tap at Firkin Fest 2009 - Pours a clear copper with a small tan head. The nose is rather sweet, a lot of pineapple, and mango notes. Comes across the palate strong with pineapple, vanilla, caramel, and hints of banana. Finishes with a subtle hop finish. Very tastey.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 22, 2009 Sampled on draft at Smokin Joe’s in Pittsburgh PA this beer poured a dark caramel-brown color with a trace of a khaki head. The aroma was bitter, sour, fruity and a bit harsh. The flavor was bitter fruity hops with sour malts and a caramelized pineapple element. The finish was long, sour, malty and fruity. There was a sour off flavor to this one that I found unpleasant. pauljackson1 (25), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA
