Apr 20, 2009 Bottle shared by Hophead22. Pours a cloudy dark orange with a very small off white head. Aroma is citrus hops, sweet caramel, earth and pine. Flavor is very bitter! Lots of piny hops and a good deal of caramel malt. Very full bodied but not particularly thick for the style. Nice medium carbonation. Thanks again for the generosity, Tim!

Apr 19, 2009 22oz bottle from phhd, thanks Ethan. Shared with DuffManSW and mspindler. Yellow/orange pour with an off-white head. Slight pineiness with some good malt. Nice bitterness, but a thin malt backbone, pretty good stuff though.

Feb 18, 2009 Bomber courtesy of cbkschubert. Some fruit and good barley aromas. Orange body with white wispy head. Flavor has a fruit presence but malted barley is the main focus here. Thick and creamy on the palate. Good brew thanks Craig.

Dec 26, 2008 Bottle. Just what i was expecting an over hopped barley wine. Pours an amber body with a thin lacing. Viscous with a lot of dark fruity esters, sugar cane, fructose, and caramel malt. The huge hop finish ruined it for me.

Dec 15, 2008 Pours a cloudy dark copper with decent head and lacing. Aroma starts with a kick of grapefruit, then finishes with notes of cane sugar and alcohol. Flavor is strangely hoppy for a barleywine, bitterness sticks to the tongue. Not bad, just not what I would expect from the style. Still a decent brew.

Dec 10, 2008 22 oz. bottle I bought in Buffalo this Summer - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small off white head. No visible carbonation bubbles. The head lasts and leaves light lacing on the way down. Aroma is esters, doughy malt, and light florals. Flavor still has some hop bite to it. Also has esters, malt, and a touch of alcohol in the flavor. The alcohol lingers a tad on the palate. Medium to full body. A nice BW.
