Poured from 650mL bottle (thanks Taylor). Hazy amber with full beige head. Bread malt, slightly woody, leaves a fair bit to be desired, but okay.

16oz @ Matt's new place. Appearance: hazy copper with a white head. Aroma: malty, some hops and sweetness with caramel notes. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: quite classic American BW, I would be probably quite impressed by this one 6-7 years ago, but now it's a bit outdated.

Amber, some haze. Just a thin head. Nice fruity aroma, slight stickiness. Some alcohol, with a dry woody character. Good complexity on this.

650mL bottle, pours a clear reddish chestnut brown with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted caramel, and some nuttiness. Flavour is full of bready malt, caramel, and a hint of toasted nuts. Somewhat earthy, dry bready finish. Good but lacking complexity and depth. Solid enough.

Bottle: Poured a dirty hazy brown color ale with a medium size foamy head with light retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of caramelized sugar with green and slightly resinous hops notes. Taste is a mix of caramelized sugar notes with subtle toffee notes with some strong green, earthy and somewhat resinous hoppy notes with light bitterness noticeable. Body is full with limited filtration and no apparent alcohol notes. Enjoyable even though I prefer my barleywine with less hops then this offering has.
