December 2003, 10%ABV version. Hazy peachy gold color with some light pink-copper tones. Huge lacing and small white head. Aroma of band aids, band aids, more band aids, and some Northwest hops. Huge amount of alcohol appearance, way too much so. Flavor is very one-sided, bitter hops and a dry english toffee. It's like one long bitter/dry flavor note with absolutely no complexity. If you are going to make a Pac NW hops barleywine (a la bigfoot) throw in a lot more sweet malt and toss in some more hops variation.
