A lot lighter (body) and more dry than I’d expect from a barleywine. Didnt taste very fresh, curious to try it on tap.

Malty and strong, fairly smooth, but with a tinge of prickly carbonation. Slight on the smoky flavors, but caramelly. Nice hints of chocolate and mild roastiness. Only modestly on the sweet side, and a bit thin, but acceptable. I'd like to see this beefed up just a little.

What a great Ale-that-tastes-like-a-Porter! Verk dark with a hint of tree-sap color around the edges. Easy to drink and not syrupy or thick. Perfect hint of malt.

Kind of maple-colored, mine was not skunky or smelly which a lot of people seem to have to contend with in this Ale. Possibly because mine was from a case that was not exposed to light? Anyway, this was crisp and lightly hopped. Not too bad at all.

Completely muddled. Terrible structure problems, as alcohol, green apples and poorly extracted malts compete for attention. And where are the hops? Finishes like a durian smells.

Fruity aroma, honey-colored. This was a little too sweet for my taste but it had a nice smoothness.

Mahogany colour; aroma of smoke, cascades, hint of iron; thin body - a little acidic even; metallic, mellowed malts (a little toasted caramel, whole grain bread), cascades...what precisely is the brewer trying to get at here?

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5
Dark amber; aroma of candied fruits, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, pears; sweet palate shows more candy, peaches, slight woody notes, Belgian specialty malts (like biscuit and maybe a tiny bit of Special B - anyone else get this or I am just wishing?)...anyway back to the point. This is a sweet, soft (creamy even), complex beer that shows more 'steam' characteristics than Anchor does.

Amber color - nice looking. Total grapefruity hop aroma. Flavor is hoppy and citric. A bit thin on the malt and mouthfeel; ballpark body for an APA - but still if it were a little heavier I would like it more.
