Tap @ SFBC. Clear copper color, short head. Aroma of malt, slight alcohol, bit fruity, brandy. Strong liquor like taste, sweet, barley winey. Very malty body. Obvious liquor. Quite nice, though it’s slightly off-balance.

Clear amber coloured body with a thin white head. Nice ruby tint as well! Aroma of pure raisins with some other super sweet essences. Some hops sneak in too...a good addition. Medium-bodied; Piney spruce flavour with some mild sweetness and some light hops. Aftertaste clean but very sweet. A nice treat (more like a Christmas beer?) and a decent barley wine. I sampled this pint from draught at the San Francisco Brewing Company in downtown San Francisco, California on the second day of 10-June-2004...our first was spent in Sydney, Australia.
