Draught at the brewery
‎Hazy dark amber color. Huge acetaldehyde smell (apples). Good body, sweet, sticky malt base with no character, concoction of chemicals, alcohol in the finish.
Nasty.

341ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy copper-amber with a thin, short lived, beige head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of grainy caramel malt, green apple, rubber and nail polish. Sweet flavour of bready malt, caramel, toffee, nail polish, green apple and brown sugar with a dry, burning alcohol finish. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. WTF, this was an epic fail. Worst Barley Wine I've tried yet.

Draft - Green Apple and a touch of Acetone. Clear copper with a decent white head. Tastes much like it smells, which is unfortunate.

Taster at the brewery with Alex. Pours a hazy copper with a tan head. Aroma is loads of grern apples with slight acetone notes. Khe-khe, what?! O_o. Taste is totally the same, wery sweet and boozy. What the heck was that?! This should not be released.

Golden-amber, no head. A messy sticky sweet thing, no nuance. There's a fair bit of bitterness here too, without brightness. All told, just something that didn't come together at all.

341mL bottle, pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma is full of phenols, with loads of burnt rubber and plastic - ugh, nasty. Flavour is along the same lines, with caramel, burnt rubber, plastic and resinous hops. Man, way too phenolic. This isn't good.
