Jun 26, 2007 Approximately 1.5 oz. sample at the Grand Tasting of the RateBeer Summer Gathering 2007 in the Twin Cities, MN on July 23, 2007. This was the very first of 26 beers that I sampled and rated during the event. Classic barley wine aroma that is both hoppy and malty. If you think that’s a bad review, just wait; my notes only got worse as the night went on. There were so many beers and so little time, not to mention small samples of each. Bear with me. Chocolate and raisin scents as well as Pacific Northwest hops (citrus and pine; apricot). Pours a hazy brown with a gold hue and a small amount of tan head. Malty flavor features dark chocolate and a dry, hoppy finish. Bitter, hoppy aftertaste. Medium body. Sharp in the palate.

Jun 25, 2007 Sweet and sugary. Light hops in the aroma, balanced by the strong taste of sugar and sweet malt. Some fruit. A brown, thick beer.

Jun 25, 2007 RBSG Grand Tasting brew. Thanks to mcbeer for bringing this one. It was my first sample of the night. A sweet aroma of dark fruit and caramel malts. The hops are evident too. Semi dry finish unlike some in this style, probably due to the hop additions. My complaint would be the watery mouthfeel and a slight sourness that I didn’t care for. Overall this is a decent barleywine, but nothing outstanding that I have come to expect from the style.
