Mine pours with a deep red with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is of hops with a hint of fruityness. Flavor is heavy on the malts and you get some hops in there. Not the best barley wine i have had. Its more of a IPA than a barley but it is quite flavorful.

Bottle. Hoppy, citrusy aroma. Golden colour, stable head. Flowery, aromatic bitterness. Creamy head and mouthfeel. Distinct bitterness nicely balanced by the floweriness.

A hazy light yellow beer with a small white disappearing head. The aroma is primarily of wheat, but also quite spicy, and so is the flavor.

Almost opaque dark brown, small creamy expresso head. Aroma is flowery hops. Medium-bodied, soft, flowery hops in mouthfeel, some roasted notes in the finish. Well-balanced, good porter.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black dark stout with medium dark head with pretty good retention. Aroma is a mix between some bitterness and roasted malt. Taste is dominated by the bitterness from the hops and lacks some roastiness. Overall, this is not a bad stout just not too well balanced IMHO.

reddish with a small head, looks lovely... smells of fruit & malts. Flavor is tangy, fruity, malty, and alcohol filled- very nice, very tasty, and very warming.
