Tustin Blizzard of Oz Barleywine

From cask at the brewpub. Pours dark orange with a small and lasting off-white head. Dense caramelish and roasted malt aroma. Caramelish and roasted malt flavoured. Light hoppy note. Slight sticky and caramelish flavoured finish.

Cask. Clear, warm deep amber with a small, rough off-white head. Aroma of wood and nuts with some alcohol showing. Medium body, low in carbonation, again nuts and wood, but also earthy and rather oxidized in a tired way. Alcoholic finish. Sloppy. 060709

On Cask at the brewpub. Pours a clear dark brown/red with a light tan creamy head and a cool looking cascading effect. Aroma is very sweet with lots of brown sugar and caramel. Flavor is much the same, little to no hops. Sweet, would be a good dessert beer. Thick and syrupy and maybe a little bit cloying, but still enjoyable.

Cask at the brewpub. Very dark red/brown color with a creamy head. Sweet dark fruit aroma. Very smooth of course, it had a sweet spiciness to it, maybe a hint of anise, very good.

on cask at the brewpub. Opaque amber pour with a nice white head, the flavor is sweet and tasty. Smooth drinking.

Tap @ the brewpub. Poured a hazy dark amber color with an off-white head. The aroma was fairly grapey with some spice. The flavor was malty and fruity with a hint of tartness on the finish. Sweet orange juice. Some warmth with a medium-full body.
