Sep 8, 2009 22oz bottle. Toffee thick orange-brown color. Big, foamy head. Astringent seawater hop aroma, thick. Relatively mellow carbonation-wise, almost like a nitro IIPA. The thick malt really shines through, making it a pretty balanced product. Not really bitter at all, has an almost vegetable finish. A touch watery and thin, but unique and enjoyable.

Sep 5, 2009 I really enjoyed this one. Pours a dark amber. The flavor is loaded with caramel malt, sweet up front, but then a nice dry, grassy hop finish with a touch of alcohol warming. I dig it.

Aug 6, 2009 Bottle and served in my Duval snifter, Slight gusher but was able not to lose any beer. Mahogany with a nice frothy off-white head and excellent lacework. The aroma has notes of caramel and bready malts, plum wine and fig, herbal and resiny hops, and a hint of DMS. The taste starts sweet malty and fruity with a foothold of bittering hops around the edges. There is a medicinal undertone which is a bit of turn off. The mouth feel is slick but a tad thin. An okay brew but nothing to write home about.

22 oz bottle shared with a couple friends. Bottle the last beer from my trip in Feb to Wisc. Pours a deep dark copperish brown with dark tannish head that sticks around amazingly, laces very well. Aromas are strong caramel, toffee, light toast, floral hops with some grapefruit tucked in. Initial is underbodied, a bit too boozy. Tastes are orange, caramel malts, toffee. The fruitiness is heavily orange fruit and peel, with caramel malts, underbodied, but still fairly pleasant. Strong booziness, decent bitter finish. This is a fairly decent Barleywine, good flavors, thin body.

Jul 5, 2009 22oz bottle. Nie looking beer, dark orange/red with a light tan head, real good carbonation. Pretty nice hop aroma, piney. More hoppiness in the flavor, but it seemed a bit thin in the middle, decent aftertaste though, rather enjoying it.
