Yellow wax, Thanks to drewbeerme... Very nice dark amber with minimal head. Very lightly carbonated. Strong aroma of honey, caramel, hops, vanilla and wood. Flavor is more mellow but palatable. A bit more hops in the flavor with some bisquity and toffee flavors. The finish includes dark fruits, vanilla and oak. The alcohol is completly hidden and brings out the aromas very nicely. i would definatly like to try this again.

Jan 5, 2009 Huge body on this one. I knew I would like it the minute I poured it. 2007 bottled sample from the brewery. Can’t wait to get another bottle

Jan 1, 2009 Bottled at Chris O’s tasting, 26th Sept 2008. Reddish orange with a strong candy sugar aroma. The robust malts hide the hops and the taste is quite salty. Palate is ok but overall I found it rather disappointing.

Dec 27, 2008 2008 purple wax bomber. Luscious aromas of sweet caramel malt , and citrusy hops. Super smooth and full bodied. Initial flavors of sweet maltiness, and then the upfront hop bitterness kicks in. These deep flavors do not go away soon and last in your mouth for a good long time. Excellent balance of complex flavors. Intense fantastic Barley Wine.
