Feb 1, 2009 Lightly hazed orange copper with a light tan head. Floral fuller nose. Reasonable caramel. Light spice. Light alcohol and fruity gum. Medium to slippery body. Sweet caramel, creamy. A little fruity. A strong dose of hops, floral. Light astringency that really lingers. A rather nice barleywine.

Jan 31, 2009 Bottle. Body-hazy dark brown with a loose foamy off white head. Nose-PNW hops, unsweet grapefruit, very medium American barleywine nose. Taste-bitter, low to medium sweet, sawdust, orange, alcohol on the back end, good low dark fruits, Dr. Pepper, earth floor, very well spiced, high CO2, hops are more upfront than the malts, sweetens a bit as it warms. A very good “medium” all the way through barleywine.

Jan 17, 2009 Bottle in trade with KAggie97. Thanks! Murky brown body with an off white head. Aroma of dark fruit, good hop presence, and alcohol noticed. A bit like Bells Third Coast Old Ale, a good thing. The only down part to this beer is that it is a little rough and you can taste the ABV. This is a little surpising as I’d assume this would have mellowed after over a year of age. Still very solid beer here.

Jan 15, 2009 Absolutley loved this offering, and hope it will be brewed again soon! Beautiful copper color with light head, singing with hop aroma. Less sweet than most other barleywine I’ve had, and much stronger hop character, though suprisingly less hop flavor than expected for the aroma. Strong alcohol flavor as expected with a barleywine, but slightly thin mouthfeel dtracts from palate. All in all, good work Brock!
