Taster consumed at Saltwater Brewery. Sweet caramel and toffee. Rich and complex, with notes of dark fruit, toasted nuts, and a pleasant boozy warmth. A beautifully crafted barleywine that's worth savoring slowly. The aging process has given it a wonderful depth of flavor. Nice job on this 5-year aged barley wine!

Can from ABC in Cape Coral enjoyed at home. Pours a hazy bright yellow with a decent sized head that slowly recedes. Old school feel with a firm bready caramel malt backbone. Citrus and pine with plenty of bitterness to balance.

Can (5/11/22) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's a hazy dark orange-light brown with nice sparkle, 2-finger off-white foamy head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is caramel malts, dank woods/pine. Taste is strong dank, resiny pine, milder grapefruit and citrus over caramel malts. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a tribute to the West Coast style for sure. Not where I am these days but they got what they were shooting for.
On tap at Wakefest. Pours black with medium frothy tan head. The aroma is strong hazelnut, roast, wood, bourbon, vanilla. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice sweetness, enjoyed this.

12 oz. can. Pours a clear pale yellow color with a very large off-white head and excellent retention. Spots of lacing. Lots of streaming bubbles. Light citrus aroma. Tastes like a light golden ale with very tart citrus juice added. Very crisp mouthfeel. Not bad but just a little too tart for me.
