Jun 12, 2007 Updated: Nov 14, 2007Pink Waxed 2005 vintage bomber courtesy of Hellomynameis. Many many many thanks. Drinking it for a much needed break, christening my new riedel oversized snifter. The pour is deep amber orangish brown. with a stable puffy tan head. The nose is big with dried fruit, sugar, molasses and alcoholic notes. The aroma is big and portends something just as large. Wow thats a big taste, rich filling, sweet and lots of alcohol that hits the back of the throat with a nice warming sensation. This is a big beer with lots of character i’ll see how it goes as it warms up.

Jun 5, 2007 Bottled. WOW! Orange brown in colour with a small head. Very well balanced with notes of candied sugar, orange, pine, fruit, dark fruit, nuts, and flowers. The list could go on - very complex. YUM!

Jun 2, 2007 Bomber courtesy after4ever. Thanks Tom! The first and hopefully only bottle I’ll see with a wax cap that appears to have cellulite. Maybe the ’06 vintage? Lightly hazy mahogany pour with a thin yellow head. Sweet aroma of brown sugar are nuts. Full body and moderate carbonation. Taste of fruitcake, fruit, brown sugar, oranges. Manages to get to a fairly clean Cointreau-edged finish.

Jun 2, 2007 hanks, GoldTwins! Pink wax (not sure what vintage that makes this--though Larry was nice enough to tell me, I’ve forgotten). God, this is an insanely aggressive-smelling beer. Pours deep murky brown with coppery highlights and a thinnish, moussy banana-yellow head. Humongous sticky sweet nose with maple syrup, tons of malty brown sugar, dark fruit, cherry, heavy black bread, and other stuff I’m sure I could strain out if I really tried. But as it stands there are so many notes and they’re all so strong that I’m having trouble with that. Attack is thick and oily with very low carb; flavors all over the place. Molasses, caramel, biscuit, wet leaves--this is heavy stuff. Delicious. Thanks, Larry!

May 31, 2007 The aroma was slightly deceiving, but this was a delightful barleywine. While Behemoth may not be the best adjective, it was quite a great ale. Not as bitter as i would have liked. But overall very well balanced.

May 31, 2007 Bottle. Grape, pineapple and pine hops aroma. Hazy orange-brown with minimal head. Sweet orange/pineapple flavor up front with a long lasting pine hops finish. Nice balance - neither the sweetness nor the hops were overpowering. A great barleywine for hops lovers.

May 29, 2007 I thought this was an ipa before I starting drinking. There is a great floral hop aroma. Very little carbonation, and a dark gold color. Flavor has flowery hops like a pale ale, but there is also sweet caramel malt flavor and fruit. Thick and full on the palate. Excellent beer.
