Feb 19, 2008 07’ Bottle-Thank you Kurt Alert for this very special beer. This Barley Wine was a very good one. Poures a large head that stays for a long time. Color is dark orange almost greenish brown. Flavor and aroma are of sweetness. Notes of berries and then bitterness with a slight citrus hop flavor and a clean Barley Wine finish. This is a very good example of a decent Barley Wine.

Feb 11, 2008 2003 bottling. Clear ruby with a 1 finger head that sticks around. Tiny bubbles rise from the bottom of this Orval goblet. smells of figs, raisons, and tart apples, a good start. Med/full body and smooth. A good flavor is a bit mild for a B/Wine with malty sweet figs raisons. Finishes with a strong boozy alcohol taste on the breath. A good belly warmer here. 11506

Feb 7, 2008 on tap @BSP. They have it listed at 10%. Pours a cloudy burnt orange with dense, buttery head. Nose is of piney hops, very full of left hands house yeast (kind of a slightly off cream character). Palate is quite full and smooth and starts out with a big toffee profile before moving into slightly smoky, resiny finish. Hops range from mildly citrusy to piney, to grassy in the finish. A pretty decent American style barleywine.

Feb 2, 2008 On tap at the Muddy Pig in St. Paul. This was rather bland as far as barley wines go. Hazy light copperish color with a nice two finger dirty white head that lasted a while. The aroma was of a citrus and caramel blend. The flavor has some hop presence with some malt and light fruit (apple/grape?). I expected more from Left Hand.

Jan 25, 2008 750, corked and baled. Pours a hazy rubied medium amber with a thick, sudsy tan head. The head looks like it might have grain husk and hop leafs knocking around in it--really chewy-looking stuff. Nice earthy and piney nose; you get big blasts of malt and hops at the same time. Body’s on the high side of medium, with soft carb. Clean, easy-drinking mid-palate with grain nusk, nuts, toast, and then some light resin and pineyness. This is pretty damn tasty. Curious what some age might do for it.

Jan 23, 2008 Pour is hazy copper color with large off white head. The nose is sweet, largely hops with tones of citrus. The taste is sweet to begin, followed by and extreme hop bitterness and warming of alcohol. Needs time to smooth.
