Pours a clear orange brown with a small amount of bubbly offwhite head. Aroma is sweet booziness with a light bitter pine hop aroma. Flavor is very light for a barleywine, watery malt base with a bitter earthy hop finish and lots of boozy alcohol warmth. Overall, i applaud the effort, but this barleywine is not really up to par with others at the same price level.

Dec 30, 2009 this a very prime example of what an APA is. Lots of rich malts. the malts are strong but overpowering with the bitterness. the taste is exurbant this one that everybody must try at least once.

Dec 30, 2009 The aroma is pretty strait forward for the style with the exception of being very hoppy. It’s mostly alcohol and caramel malt. The appearance is deep amber with a foamy head. The taste is like the aroma. The palate is smooth and thick. Overall a good example of the style.

Pretty thick head, later pretty thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma faint sweet malt.
Taste Pretty good Hoppy, More towards the Bigfoot side of Barleywines. Nice bitter finish. Pretty tasty
Pretty full bodied, smooth nice finish.
Probably will age well.

Dec 22, 2009 650 ml bottle. Pours a translucent orange-brown color with a medium beige head that receded to an 1/8 inch and holds. The aroma was very faint with sweet barley malts and a bit of booze. The taste was much better than the aroma with complex subtle nuances of caramel, oranges, leather, toasted malts, spicy hops and some dust. The palate was full and smooth with overactive carbonation. The finish was medium in duration with some lingering sweet spicy grains. Overall: A very recommendable barley wine, not a great one, but who knows it may age well.

Dec 20, 2009 22oz bottle $7.49. Orange-red color, short head, looks like your standard American barleywine. Smells like orange marmalade on bread, coffee cake, grand marnier...it tastes alcoholic and delicious at the same time. It was a little medicinal at first but as it warmed it became more of a boozy citrus flavor. Overall, ehhhh...

Dec 20, 2009 Very nice caramel malt aroma to start this off, with a hint of hop lurking behind it. Pours a clear reddish-amber, with about half a finger of white craggy head. Nice full flavor, more of the American Barleywine versus the British style, with a nice hop bite hidden within. Alcohol is not noticeable, which is quite amazing for the 10% ABV. For the price, this is quite tasty, and shows that Redhook is at least still trying to go back to their roots.

Dec 20, 2009 Bomber from Beverages & More! Fairway. Pours a clear red with a medium sized yellow-brown head. Aroma is quite fruity with big hops. Flavor brings again huge fruitiness and big hops. One of the hoppiest Barleywines I personally have had. Medium viscosity, slightly sticky, warm finish. A very respectable showing in all categories. Overall, very good.
