2024 vintage. On tap at Walking Man, pours a fleas amber with a small beige bead. Aroma is full of rich resinous hops, big toffee, and sweet breast malt. Flavour is bitter as fuck, with truckloads of resinous hops, deep breast toffee, and red berry. Love how hoppy this is—classic American barley wine circa mid-2010s. Really nice that they brought this back.

On tap at Walking Man. Pours clear deep gold with a white head. Clean caramel malts, toffee, and loads of resinous hops on the nose. Flavour has loads of dry caramel, toffee, a touch of light dried berries, and tons of bitter, resinous hops. Fantastic.

2012 vintage, 4 oz draft pour at the Seattle IBF. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a thin patchy head. Sweet dark fruit, plum and spice aroma. Flavor has some spicy vanilla, plum, cinnamon, and maybe a little rye. Dry finish. What an incredible barleywine. Big beer. 4 oz was plenty to get the idea here. Fun, tasty beer.

Red-brown beer under a yellow head. Wood, US hops, but restrained, cashews, orange- or mandarinepeel. Wry, sweet-bitter in an excellent balance. Slick, viscuous, chewy, wry-woody in the mouth. Excellent beer sustaining the fame of its brewers.

On Tap. Slightly hazy deep orange amber with a modest sandy colored head. Aroma of sweet caramel and brown sugar. Flavor is simlar woth almost over the top carmelized sweetness. Very little hops, possibly un balanced in that sense but delishesm Would not have guessed the 12%ABV. Yum

2007, at the brewpub in Stevenson. Bright amber colour. Chewy aroma - a little crystal, earth, balanced woody/grapefruity hop. Flavour lets down a bit....quite bitter to the point of imbalance. Some chewy crystalness, butnot with the same degree of nuance as other WM brews. Alcohol is surprisingly not apparent but I could have used some of that to cut through the cloying finish. This actually should be much better by the time Hard Liver ’08 rolls around.
@ Hard Liver ’06Beautiful bright orangey-amber colour. Soapy, perfumey hop with shallow brown sugar malt. Sort of light body, with hints of brown sugar, caramel malts and a shade of hoppy dryness. Not horrible, but certainly nothing special. 6-3-7-3-13 = 3.2
