Jul 28, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A rather unpolished beefy ale with more hop exageration than finesse.
I like:
Pretty appearance, generous head for a ‘monster’ beer. Obvious alcohol presence does not really disturb. It fits the rest.
I dislike:
Rough edges, rather harsh hops of the astringent type and fairly acidic for a barley wine. Quite thick, but not very deep in maltiness.

Sep 23, 2008 Updated: Sep 30, 2008Bottle... Post RBSG ’08 O-Town/Vero Beach Throwdown Chapter 8... Clear burnt orange ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Fantastic retention. The malty, earthy nose bestows notes of perspiration and brown sugar, among others. Full-bodied and smooth with medium carbonation. Caramel sweetness and tannic, heavy hop bitterness. Lengthy, bittersweet, very warm finish. Thanks to growler for providing this nice bottle of beer!
