Apr 12, 2009 Draft 2006 vintage on tap at SBC brewpub. Copper color with lacy white head. Brown sugar/molases in the nose. Buttery feel on the palate, mild hop bitternesss which I like in a barleywine. A nice winter warmer but drinkable enough for a Sunday afternoon (like today).

Jan 19, 2008 Draft at the Oasis in Citrus Heights (Sacramento). 100 IBU. Rich malty aroma with resiny hop. Very dark mahogany color with fizzy carbonation. Very roasted caramel with pine/resin hop. Definitely some heat, but it does not interfere. Finish is the sweet goes away and leaves all that wonderful bitter. It is a tad harsh.
