Dark brown color; small creamy head. Aroma of roasted malts, roasted nuts, light vanilla. Good body strength, with sweet rich flavor of caramel, malt, some chocolate; the oxidisation is almost absent; it has a good bitterness level.
Very good.

Bottled. An unclear dark red beer with dark a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, roasted malt, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, over ripe friuts, and roasted malt, leading to a dry finish. Thanks fiiulijn for sharing.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a hazy orangey brown with a creamy and lacing beige head. Nutty aroma, burned caramel, oxidized. Rich body, nutty and toffeeish, overripe fruit, again oxidized. Some warming alcohol and hops, but no crisp hop character. More of a British Barley Wine. 160912

Cloudy brown beer. No head. Silky palate which is a little soft but with a carbonated bite. Toffee caramel malt with an aged malt chocolate aspect. Fresh hops integrate well. Pine and a little grapefruit. Finishes soft and with mild bitterness. Very drinkable indeed. Another very decent beer from this brewery.

Courtesy of ksurkin. Pours murky mahogany with tan head. The aroma is big musty aged pine hops and sweet crusty malts followed by a touches of citrus and sweet malts. The taste is just yummy with thick chewy malts and caramel bounded by a wonderful layer of creamy candy goodness, firm aged pine hops, a sliver of citrus and rich sweet dark fruitiness off in the background.

October ’09 O-Town Throwdown, courtesy of Daknole. #1431/2008 Pours amber/brown, thin beige head. Aroma and flavor, hoppy, caramel malts, some brown sugar, fresh hops, might be a little too bitter in the finish with lingering hoppy aftertaste.

Bottle: Pours a beautiful amber pour with a thin beige head. Very intense aroma is sweet and citrus filled, a little malty, and some more fruitiness. Smooth and sweet flavor is a medley of caramel malt, faded citrus hops, and more sweet fruitiness. Some light floral bitters. Very silky smooth. Thanks Immy.

22oz bomber. Very attractive dark brown-amber color, thick with lots of texture. This IIPA could be a Barleywine if it were labeled as such. Rich and creamy with great cascade character. Lots of resiny, hop syrup action going on. An interesting and classy beer in the bottle, would love to try it fresh on draft.
