Feb 17, 2008 Draft from Toronado Barley Wine Festival. Amber orange color. Aroma is grapefruit, citrus, caramel, fairly similar to the Pliny beers. Medium to heavy body, moderate bitterness and sweetness. Decent and well made, but somewhat forgettable given what else they had.

Jul 27, 2007 Wow, found this one in my notebook and it was never entered, Tornado BW fest from long ago. Just a big pile of juicy fruit and hops. Immense depth of flavor and balance. Notes get a little fuzzy at this point but it really looks like I enjoyed it beyond memory. Hey Vinnie ...thanks for the memories.

Feb 12, 2007 1/2 pint at RR - Last one of the night and after 10 hours at the brewpub, I was still impressed. Aroma is a strange mix of yeast, malt and hops that I wasn’t expecting from a barleywine. Bubblegum, caramel, earthy hops and spice. A Belgian insipred barelywine? Pours hazy yellow-brown with a small head and great lacing. Flavor was a good match to aroma. Palate is sticky and sweet. Very tasty and I will admit to not having much time or space to give this one the attention it deserved.
