clean enough T3 not to overpower for first 12oz but gets a bit much after 24.
^intense, a sipper to share -especially in a 750ml bottle.

02 vintage, thanks IBrew2or3. Pours red-brown amber with an off-white head. nose is caramel, toffee, brown sugar, and a slight bitterness. Flavor is the same caramel, toffee, bitterness, and and kind of tang from the yeast. Interesting barleywine that has aged ok.

XS ceramic bottle 2008. I believe this is my first American Barley Wine and if this beer is anything to go by, I want more!! Intense aroma of sweet malt, glycerin, citrus hops with some resiny characters. Palate is amazingly well balanced considering the 100+ IBUs in there. Lovely malt flavour, very complex, the hop flavour is simply awesome. What a fantastic beer, but not for the faint hearted on uninitiated. Most people I know would’nt be able to handle this beer, which is good means I have less to share.

Pours slightly hazy brownish orange with very little head. Aroma- toffee, rum, cherry, plum, roast vanilla bean. Taste is bitter with a good sweet caramel balance. Slightly thin buttery body with low carbonation. Finishes with hop and roast bitterness.

Poured from the Isaaquah Ale House tap. The color was dark caramel with a small white head. Smells like malt, prune, dates, and caramel with some pepper as well. The taste is booze, pine, sweet malt, toffee and sherry, Full chewy mouthfeel like a thick oil. Great brew.

1994 nib bottle courtesy of Sloth! Bottle opens without a hiss. Pours a thick, opaque mahogany with a cherry edge. Rich malt, prunes, raisins, caramel fudge cake in the nose. Mouth is flat but thick and viscous. Touch of oxidation. Bold, rich flavors with banana nut cake, dark fruits, and toffee. Very nice. Would have been stellar with bubbles. Thanks Bert, an awesome trader!
