Apr 5, 2009 Pours a dark murky resinous amber having a tacky/ frothy off white head. Juicy pine and citrus aromas that is somewhat powerful. The taste is very nice. Has that upfront citrus/ pine hop flavor that was expected from the aromas. There is also a faint malt backbone. The aroma and flavors go hand in hand. Good lacing thats a notch above average with a semi sweet and bitterness all around. Alcohol is almost perfectly hidden. So its hard to believe its abv is 10%. For a price tag of 6.99 I think it was truly worth it. Nicely done all around!

Mar 31, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy deep ruby red-brown body with a thin, off-white head that leaves a decent amount of runny lacing. Aroma is malty sweet with lots of berries, light notes of booze and grassy hops. Oranges and apricots. The nose grows nicely as it warms. Flavor is pretty solid. Initial chewy caramel malts give way to a good amount of medium grassy hops that lasts through the finish and linger for a long time. Berries and citrus come in during the middle and lead into the finish as well. Finishes dry with a sweet and sprucey earth aftertaste. Palate is medium to full bodied and has a light warmth on the way down. Overall, a very nice tasting barley wine. Not too sweet and not too hoppy/boozy. Really fine balance.

Mar 31, 2009 Bottle kindly shared by Anker. Hazy amber body with a dense off white head. Lovely aroma of spicy hops, sweet malt and lots of fruit. Fantastic flavour of sweet malt, caramel, hops and exotic spices as well as peach and melon. Soft and creamy body. Not very barley like but oh so tasty.
