| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 1, 2007 Thin dense head of fine beige bubbles. Sweet caramel malts and lots of hops in the aroma. Some toffee and a bit of alcohol. Dark crimson brown in color. Sweet and malty flavor with a nice alcohol kick. Bit sticky yet the body seems a bit on the thin side. Kind of vegetal in flavor. More caramel and dough. Bit dry with a light bitterness from the alcohol. Finishes sweet and malty with a lingering dry pasty aftertaste. Hides its alcohol pretty well. A decent barleywine. pantani (1902), Salinas, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 8, 2009 Very pretty mahogany red color with a surprisingly long lasting thin white head. Aroma is a big shot of bitter, pine accented hops and slight caramel. Flavor is another huge shot of hops, again mostly pine. Hops here have a bit of roughness to their bittering quality. The caramel accented malt finish has a faint roasted not that is a touch strange. Definite alcohol heat here. Not bad, could be interesting to lay down and see what happens.
