(bottle - 22 oz) Coppery color with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is very sweet and malty with lots of dark fruit aromas, caramel, honey, and alcohol. Lots of sweet malts and fruit at the beginning of the flavor with a nice caramel and bitter hop middle. Finishes lightly bitter with a very chewy body. Alcohol is extremely well hidden.

Luminescent orange color out of the bottle with a foamy green/yellow head and a dark sweet caramel nose. Attractive looking lace on the glass. Dark fruit sweetness with a nice hop bitterness in the finish. Well balanced and nice thick barley wine mouthfeel. Very solid, drinkable barley wine.

Bottle shared by grOve, thanks. Dark amber colored with a tiny little head. Aromatic; lots of caramel, lots of grain, and a citric hoppiness to balance. Notes of pepper and dried dark fruits. Taste has an extremely strong bitterness with tons of sweet grainy malts to deal with it. Big body. Chewy texture. Lingering bitter finish. Tasty and powerful.

amber/cherry colored beer with a large yellowish head. hoppy aroma of mandarin orange. flavor is sweet with orange hops and maybe a touch of vanilla. palate is medium bodied and sticky. again, a very fine brew from lagunitas but it doesn’t really stray far from their standard style. i feel like i had the same beer 10 times.

2002: Radiant brass shade. Creamy, retentive ring of foam. Aroma of jellied candy, pineapple, cotton, plum, leaf, and phenols; vague caramel, spruce tips, and white grape undertones. Wonderful, seemingly bottle conditoned palate: velvety, softly sappy. Initial leafy, earthy bitterness followed by a subtle tanginess, pine sap, marmalade, maraschino cherry, fig, soft notes of caramel, and wood notes. Long, balanced finish of toffee glazed malts, peppery alcohol, numbing alpha acids, apple stem, soil, tobacco, and accompanying mellow pineapple hop belches. Bready, caramel malts and obscure piney notes emerge as it reaches room temp. Sadly, a very average aroma, but the flavor and palate are nearly flawless. A particularly impressive offering from this redundant brewery.
