bottle thanks to wavers1, Baker you rock! Pours dark hazy carmel with a medium off white head that held all the way down leaving a nice lacing. Aroma is nutty with almond and peanut notes then a nice pine hop comes forward with some floral notes. Flavor is so good. Rich malt profile of biscuit, a very bready almost rye toasted malt, and again nuts. The grainyness is cut by a strong hop bitterness. Lots of evergreen and pine notes, maybe even a little spruce, just tastes green haha. Ends extremely dry, I feel my tongue loose all moisture. This is special stuff. Thanks again Baker for the opportunity to try this fresh!

From tap at Toronado, Barley Wine Fest 2010. Pours clear and golden deep amber to mahogani brown with a small white head. Aroma is dry caramelish and overripe fruity. Smooth fruity, dense caramelish and toffee malty. Sweet and bitter at once. Young it seems, yet nicely balanced.

Tasting at Papsø’s
Hazy blond color. Both aroma and flavor remind me the corn mash used to feed chickens. Poor.

From tap at City Beer as Valley Brew Bill Brand Tribute. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is milky, sweet caramelish and light yeast fruity. Light acetone in the initial flavour, lovely sourish note and distinct lacto presence. Citric and milky finish. Light note of a belgian wit still remains - will be great with aging.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours with a hazy orange body and a fading white head. Aroma is fruity with some creme, pomegranate, a bit phenolic (brett?) and some banana esters. Taste is dry and fruity with a tangy edge from obvious pomegranate juice. Dryness and acidity similar to champagne. Lightish bubbles and a bone dry mouthfeel.

Bomber from the Co-Op in Davis, CA. Pours opaque brown with ruby notes, and a two finger beige head that’s pretty foamy. A bit clingy. Lots of darker fruits over roasted caramel, with some brown sugar, for aroma. Full bodied with very frothy carbonation. Flavor is treacle, plums and dates, and more treacle. It’s like dessert. No sign of heat. The finish is sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. This barleywine seems to have perfected balance. Extremely dangerously tasty.
