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.

Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. Dark amber body with minimal head. Sweet nose with some tea and caramel in the body. Sweet malt flavor.

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.

From a 22 -oz bottle pours a mahogany/dark red nrew with a pinkish tan head. Aroma of fruity dark fruit, iced tea, pear, rasins, grapefruit and caramel. Taste is full body, thick and sweet with low carbonation. Finish is sweet bitter, a slight grapefruit aftertaste with high alcohol warmth.

The hops make this taste like a glass of grapefruit juice into which someone has put a sprig of pine bough as a swizzle stick. But in a good way.

Medium reddish color with virtually no head. Flavors are of orange peel, sweet malt, and a touch of alcohol. The flavor starts of sweet and fruity but ends almost too bitter with intense hops and alcohol. If it was balanced better I would have enjoyed this much more... Overall it is good but surely not worth the price - worth trying once but still a bit much.

An aroma blast of molasses, dried fruit, pine, alcohol, cinnamon, and more. Pours a ruddy reddish orange with a small off white head. Flavor is mostly a malt explosion. Dried fruit, heavy syruppy molasses, then a nice piney hoppiness. Heavy dry mouthfeel, sweet and coaty. This is a complex brew. This is a nice brew. It better be since I spent $24 on it. Three Floyds in your face!

Reddish pour. Citrus/hoppy notes in aroma. Pine, grapefruit, citrus flavor. Finish is bitter and sweet.
