Jul 5, 2008 Interestingly, not as large as I would have anticipated from the commercial discription. Nice balance overall and the alcohol is pretty hidden.

Jul 4, 2008 Can. I am absolutely ecstatic that Oskar Blues cans are being distributed in Socal these days. This one was Big, Red & sticky indeed. Barleywine-like but maybe not as thick. Definitely Hot, Definitely Hoppy, some licorice notes as well...and all this out of a can. Fuckin’ sweet!

Jul 3, 2008 On draught at Stone. This beer is a clear dark amber color with a medium and foamy light beige head that diminishes slowly. Patchy sheets of lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt and peppery hops. Medium body with a hoppy character and flavors of sweet fruit and malt in the background. The finish is piney hops that lingers for a bit. Pretty good overall.

Jul 2, 2008 Poured a murky light brown color with a nice off white head. Aroma is very hoppy but with a nice scent of malt and alcohol, much like a barleywine. Flavor is even more hoppy than the taste, very piney, not much citrus, but overall smooth at the same time. Very good.
