Feb 21, 2007 Bottle from Capone’s. Turbid orangy ruby color with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma of big citrus, tangerine, black pepper, canteloupe, caramel malt, cabernet. There are tons of hops and tropical citrus in this aroma. The taste is on the tart side, very citric, with peppery, caramel malt, cabernet, port, cognac, and pineapple notes. Gets a tad hot as it warms, but this one is very good. Mix 2 parts Dreadnaught with 1 part Insanity and 1 part Doggie Claws, and you have this beer.

Feb 14, 2007 Opaque amber/orange appearance with a large, off white head that left a thin layer of lacing. An untypical barlywine aroma; herbal hops. earthy, slightly medicinal, with hints of leather. Taste was decent but not overly complex. Some sweetness from the caramel malts, followed by some fruitiness, before turning drier, hoppier and more bitter. Smooth, full-bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel. Alcohol more noticable in the lingering aftertaste.

Feb 12, 2007 Tap at Barcade: Pours a nice hazy amber with an off-white head. The aroma is beautifully hopped. Lemony and bright, honeyish, bisquity and slightly perfumy. This is a well hopped barley wine, both aromatically and flavor wise. There’s a nice lemony bite with some residual mintyness. The malt backbone gives it a candyish note, and has a smooth late alcohol hint. There’s a light dryness in the long finish. A tasty, hoppy barley wine.

Feb 2, 2007 22 oz. bomber poured a deep amber color with small and short lasting off-white head. Aroma was fruity and sweet malts. Flavor was a bit complex. Caramel malt, butterscotch, fruit esters and bitter hops gave an interesting taste. As it warmed, the metallic bitterness mellowed a bit, but still lingered. I would have rated this higher if not for the metallic taste, maybe they could use a different hop blend. Full bodied and quite drinkable. Let this one warm a bit for full enjoyment.
