Bottle courtesy of ibrew2or3. Pours amber/brownish. Aroma is of barley and caramel malt. A decent barley beer. Would try it again to give it a better review.

Bottle pours a haz red amber with a small thin lasting sandy colored head. Sweet carmel aroma. Flavor is malty sweet and fairl bitter. Wood and of carmel and vanilla. Moderately bitter. Soft carbonation and a bit of a chalky palatte.

22 oz. bottle. From trade. No freshness date seen. Poured out a deep caramel color, with a thin, sticky head. Aromas are of roasted malts, some coffee bean, piney hops. Flavors are somewhat strong & pronounced. Coffee bean, roasted malts, alcohol bite mix the flavors up somewhat. Medium mouthfeel, slick and oily. Decent enough beer, but nothing I’d seek out again.

22-oz bottle received via trade with 5000. Pours dark reddish brown with a small, fizzy, light brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, cookie), average hops (flowers, perfume), light yeast (dough) with notes of alcohol, dates, port, and apple. Full bodied, creamy to alcoholic texture, sticky texture, and a slightly bitter finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

had at hardliver barleywine festival at brouwer’s in fremont. one of the better selections there. had a tart candiness to it.

bottle, from trade with 5000. Good aroma, sweet. Brady, plum, raisin, wet leather. Muddled orangy brown color, little to no head or lace. Sweet flavor. Very sweet at times. Coffee undertones, has a bitter streak, but not dominant flavor. Medium body, smooth creamy mouthfeel. bitter sweet finish. Kind of liked it,, though this one was a slow drunk beer. I dunno at times I was turned off by the aroma. So it’s a mixed feeling with this one.

Bomber. Pours a dark brown with slight white head. Aroma is mostly caramel . Tastes of dark sweet fruits, caramel, toffee, some spice. Palate is sticky and sweet with a noticeable boozy burning. Courtesy of OldMrCrow for this brew.
