Pours a very nice mahogany color with a very small head that does not last. Taste is crisp with notes of caramel, citrus hops, and maybe a little peat. Alcohol is noticeable in the aroma, but not so much in the flavor. Lively carbonation at first, but that eventually subsides. Full body without being sticky or syrupy. Good beer and drinkable.

Bottle. Had a light brown/golden pour. Had a sweet malt, light sour and malty aroma. Very big sweet malty taste with a full to medium body. Well balanced and fairly sweet. Good brew.

Vintage 07 or 08 im not sure. THanks to Hellbilly for this one! Clear garnet pour with a thin beige head and minimal spotty lace. Sweet malts, dark fruits, and brown sugar on the nose. Sticky mouth-feel, medium bodied. Caramel, toffee, dark fruits, and caramelized sugar

bomber. pours copper amber in color with a fluffy, thick, orangey head. toasty brown sugar nose, belies its supper malty base. no real hop aroma, is not what was expected. i was thinking big malt and sharp piney hop. thats not this one. it is really malty and strong. so i guess its barley wine. i think im drunk after half a glass...

On tap at Toronado for Barleywine fest ’09. A really nice offering that won last year. Reddish-amber color with off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, bourbon, and piney hops. Flavor is caramel malt, brown sugar, bourbon, honey, and piney west coast hop bitterness. Somewhat syrupy mouthfeel.

From 2008 bomber, pours ruby-hued amber, no head. Sweet dark fruit aroma and flavor, with malt and mruky dark fruit flavors, fullness in body some hoppiness to finish.
