22 ounce bottle courtesy of scrizzz, in Mystery Swap 4.0 so long ago. Opened 10/13/10. Pours a hazy reddish brown with a medium frothy tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of toffee, berries and peppery hop notes. The taste is toffee, caramel and bitter herbal hops. The bitterness mellows a bit as the beer hits room temp, but its still rubbing me the wrong way. Decent barleywine, just not my thing.

Sampled on cask at GCBF '10, pours hazy golden yellow with a white head. Aroma and flavour of citrus and piney hops - very smooth and well-hopped like a good IPA should be.

22 oz bottle my Mom brought back for me from the brewery in Port Townsend. Pour is hazy brown, with a smallish loose khaki head. Head minimal, despite an aggressive pour. Aroma has a soft coffee roastiness, along with warm chestnuts. Decent, though subdued nose. Taste is the roast coffee up front, along with some nutty bitterness, and finishing with a malty chemical grassiness. Palate is medium bodied, lower carbonation levels and a dry chalky finish. Thanks for lugging this back for me, Mom!

The taste is citrus and herbal hops with caramel. Medium bodied. Well balanced straightforward IPA, just the way I like them.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with no head and a hazed golden body. Aroma of alcohol, caramel and dates. Taste is caramel, quite malty, alcohol and very nice overall (not very descriptive, I know). Low carbonation.
