Apr 21, 2008 Growler: Pours a transparent copper orange with a thin, spotty-lacing off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel malt and a touch of citrusy hops. Body starts with a decent caramely sweetness, and some mild grapefruity hoppiness before a slightly warming, light fruity complex finish. A pretty nice barleywine.

Apr 12, 2008 From a growler via trade with Puddintane. Shared with my GF Cyn. Pours amber with a thin tan head. Nose is sweet with hints of dried fruit and a nice lingering sweetness. Taste is sweet, fruitty, hoppy and really nicely big. The brew is smooth and its a big hoppy Barleywine, I like.

Pours a thin, and whisky-like deep amber with noticable viscosity. Huge, deep, sweet caramel aroma with chocolate covered orange. Full, fluffy mouth. Sticky, yet carbonation can still be felt. Sugary, bitter... quite all over the place which is actually rather nice. Tea bitters, mild sour grassy hops. Barreled characteristics are subdued until late. My notes conclude with: "Rate Soon", "Find Again", & "Gorgeous".
