Jun 2, 2008 Aroma is of citrus, caramel and molasses. Very dark amber to brown in color with a large brown head and strong lacing. It’s a slight hop flavor but more sweet and cirtus... definitely traces of molasses or brown sugar. Really nice!

May 31, 2008 2008 vintage from bomber. Pours ruby with barely any head, a tiny bit remains on top of the ale. Aroma is mostly sweet, caramel malt with a strong hops. The flavor is intense: sweet with hops, citrus, pine. Surprisingly balances for a barley wine. Overall smooth with a sweet finish. Very rich and impressive.

May 30, 2008 Deep ruby color with small off-white head that dissipates fully and leaves no lacing. Gorgeous color on this beer. Aroma rich with malt and caramel sweetness, light hops, and alcohol. Flavor is sweet and rich with some hop bite and alcohol burn at the end. Mouthfeel is lightly fizzy and smooth, somewhat thick and rich. Very nice example of the style!

May 28, 2008 Amber beer with lasting ivory yellow head. Strong bready malt aroma mixed with weaker notes of tangerine and peach hops, and some sweet alcohol notes like sherry. Dry and malty flavour with some hop flavour and bitterness. The malt is bock-like and becomes cloying.

May 27, 2008 Updated: May 20, 2009A beautiful clear red-amber color with a small orangy-white head that doesn’t last. A bit light in color for a BW. Wow, what an aroma. Real full malty smell with roast notes, a bit of caramel sweetness, and finishes with floral hops. The flavor doesn’t quite back it up, but is still nice. Lots of hop bitterness stands out, but the malt backbone is there along with some alcohol warmth. Bitter finish.

May 27, 2008 ~Pours amber with big foamy yellowish head.
~Sweet hop citrus scent.
~Sweet citrus taste, mild bitter hop taste.
~Palate is thick and creamy feels sticky
~ I was surprised by this. I was expecting a dry hop beer instead I got a rich citrusy beer. Great job of hiding the alcohol.
