Labeled as 4th Street Brewing. Tap @ Horse Brass... Poured ruby/burgundy with a frothy, off-white head. Aroma of toffee and burnt malt with a little bit of floral hops. Foamy palate. Flavors were a little too hoppy and almost acted like an I-IPA rather than a Barley Wine. Lot of bready malt notes but lacked the sweeter, fruit notes your expect from a Barley Wine style. Perhaps of it has been allowed to mature for a bit.

4 year old version on tap at PDX Green Dragon. Pours amber with a smooth white head. This aged perfectly, smooth caramel flavors up front with still enough hops to keep it from being cloying but let the malt complexity shine through. The flavors have melded beautifully over time, giving a soft and chewy caramel palate, hints of cherry and soft sweeter chocolate notes in the finish.

On tap at Green Dragon in Portland, OR--This four year aged barley had a deep sticky mahogany-orange body with a mild whitish head. Sugary, caramel, hoppy, sticky chew nose. Body much the same. Subtle yet bold booziness and fruity, not so cloying beer with a emboldened malt spine. Very enjoyable!

copper brown color small well laced tan head. Sweet brown sugar carmel and toffee aroma. Palate is well coated and lightly creamy. Syruppy flavor brown sugar & raisens but finishes w/ a dry hop. A fairly basic BW but not bad.
