On tap at the brewery in a flight. Pale, clear, copper color, with a small, beige head. The nose is caramel, syrup, pine sap, and butter toffee. Sticky sweet, with a very hefty bitterness that lingers through the finish. Very heavy body, syrupy, sticky, and chewy. This is a strong, hoppy barley wine. Some time would mellow out the hop bitterness and allow the malts to shine. Quite enjoyable!
