Aug 15, 2008 Updated: Oct 9, 200822oz bottle, Yellow wax. Pours dark amber with a moderate off-white head. The depth of flavors is incredible. Lots of hops with caramel/alcohol sweetness and hints of dark fruits. A perfectly balanced barley wine. Yet another amazing, huge beer from Three Floyds.

Aug 15, 2008 This is it, the one. My only perfect score. I am a fan of the barley wine, and FFF nailed it. The bomber was an 08’. Poured nice and thick into cool goblet like glass after taking bottle out of fridge and left outside for a good twenty minutes. Enough citrussy, floral, fruity hop scent to fill a gym. On first taste (still a little cold) it reminds me of the Dreadnaught. Very nice. As I continued on, the behemoth warmed up. This is where it shines. Every sip was an adventure bringing forth more and more distinct flavors. Incredibly well-balanced. This puts all other barley wines (maybe beers too) to shame. God bless Three Floyds!

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle: orange-ruby pour with a thin white ring. Alcohol and caramel malt fills the nose, and the flavor is big on sweet malts, sugars, light fruits, and a citrus hop backbone. This is a BIG beer.

Aug 9, 2008 2007 (yellow wax) thanks to pepsican. I just was able to find 2008 (purple wax) today at Lone Hill Liquors in Los Angeles. Viscous pour. Hazy amber color with not much head but good lacing. Aroma of Molasses, caramel, pine, grapefruit and a bit of rochefort. Taste is pine and molasses, with some nuts towards the finish (and the finish is a bit bitter. Syrupy.

Aug 8, 2008 This stuff is definitely the Behemoth of beers at FFF. Lots of hops in this one, with the Three Floyds flavor still here. Great taste with a darker, dense look. The alcohol notes are there, but its not extremely overpowering.

Aug 5, 2008 Updated: Dec 24, 2008At RBSG, I need to have this without 40 or so preceding it! Dried fruit and caramel nose and a bit of earthiness in the flavor, along with alcohol.
