Feb 17, 2009 On tap at Toronado for Barleywine fest ’09. One of the least impressive I had (tough competition though). Dark amber color. Malty on the aroma and flavor with a little hop bitterness and ever-so-slight fruitiness. Medium palate. Not bad but not great.

Feb 16, 2009 A decent barley wine. Nothing special but still has some good flavor and color. Good end of the night beer.

Feb 15, 2009 Pours a three finger light tan head that leaves a good lace. Almost black color some mahogany highlights. Slight malty nose. Light carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Flavor is some sweet maltiness but lacks the seriousness of a good barleywine, musty bitterness at finish. There are better barleywines like Southern Tier’s Backburner. Pricey for Shipyard, $10.15 for a 22 oz bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.

Feb 15, 2009 Pretty bad. Dry malt flavor and aroma. No hops, no sweetness, and just a strange aroma and flavor of dry grain. Oxidized; maybe.

Feb 10, 2009 On tap @ redlight. Deep ruby-red color, moderate khaki head. Sweet aroma, mild earthy hops, slight alcohol. Pretty plain taste - slightly sweet with an almost minty finish. Just kind of there.

Feb 8, 2009 22oz bottle. Very dark red, almost black, but some light was making it through. Some dark fruit aroma, but it was a little modest for a barley wine. A little bitter hop bite, and some more dark fruits, a little thin, would like to see a bit more out of this.

Feb 5, 2009 22oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a clear deep brown color with a beige head that left little lacing. Nose was very weak, light hops, candied fruits and caramel. Flavor was lightly boozy with hop bitterness and metallic undertones. No bueno.
