Big thanks to riversideAK for sending me this green waxed bottle. It pours pure clear gold with off white head. The aroma offers up maltiness as well as some grapefruit hops, some spicy hops and a bit of floral as well. The taste if similar although it seems blunted with age. I get some spicy hops, some pine and citrus as well with a thin layer of smooth sweet malts underneath. It seems to end with aged smooth hoppiness and sweet malts that lean more toward the malt side as a sense of roasted malts takes this into the after taste. – Probably should have cracked this one sooner.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of straw, alcohol, hops, and citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, over ripe fruits, alcohol, and hops, leading to a bitter finish, where the over ripe fruit note lingers.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of scrizzz. Pours an almost clear golden with a small white head. Sweet fruity nose with a little citrusy hops. Medium body, dry and fresh fruitiness with a metallic twang. Dry hoppy finish. Not bad but perhaps a little thin to be considered a Barley Wine. 290311

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours orange gold with a foamy white head. Nice spicey orange zest aroma. Medium plus body with foamy carbonation. This stuff has something of a bite - assume that’s the zest. It’s definitely dry, rather tart, arguably earthy, grassy and arguably other stuff. Maybe peppery. There is a lot going on with this. The rye seems discernible. Not for the mouth that wants to relax. This beer demands attention. Excellent.
