Determined to make world-class beer in our own backyard, one of our first, and perhaps best, decisions was to invest in new, state-of-the-art brewing equipment.

A friend brought this beer back for me from a trip out west - Thanks Pigboy! I am totally unfamiliar with this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a dark mahogany color with a medium sized tan head. There is a strong fruity hop aroma with a light vague spiciness underneath. The flavor is rich and malty and has a strong floral hop character but there is a strong alcohol burn that really detracts from the overall beer experience. Had that alcohol burn not been so prominent I would certainly have rated this beer higher.

2003. Outstanding. Highly complex. Aromas of citric acid, wheat, hops, dried fruit. Amber with a thick head. Flavor is like no other barleywine I have tasted. Lots of fruit. There are sweet and sour flavors as well. I have never tasted a barleywine so sour; or few beers this sour of any style. This beer is heavy like syrup. The finish is a little dry and here is where the hops really come through. For such a powerful beer, a 12oz bottle might be a better choice than the bomber. -------------------’99 Still holding up. I believe the bottle was stored in cooler for the last six years. Flavor has mellowed a bit. _----------------- 2004consumed in 2016./held on reasonably well. Hops are mostly gone and so is the carbonation but malt flavor.

Bottle Pours a nice deep golden, slightly hazt with a modest but lasting white head. Basic malty and fairly strong hop aroma.Something off in it though. Flavors are woody, cardboardy and piney hops. Kind of a mediciney note as well. Moderate carbonation, Moderately rich palate quite deep bitter trailer. Nothing special.

A black beer with a chocolate brown head. The sweet with strong notes of alcohol and bourbon, but also raisins and wood mixes in. The flavor is very sweet with notes of overripe fruits and bourbon as well as lesser notes of chocolate and wood. The end is slightly bitter with notes of chocolate. On my tastebuds this beer is closer to a Barley Wine than a Baltic Porter - but it is still a very nice brew.

A dark amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet grassy, while the flavor is very hoppy and grassy - I get the notion that the hops used are very fresh, or is the the soul use of Brewers Gold? The end is nicely bitter - though not very bitter, and not as bitter as I had expected from the style.

Very light pale ale. Light aromas of fruit and flowers. Almost no head, light orange color. Flavor is lightly bitter, some bread, and more flowers. Smooth but thin. Easy to drink.

Bottle Pours a very dark black with small tan head and lots of fine sheeting lacing. Drk roast and molassas aroma with some slight purple grapes. Very dark roasted slightly charcoal taste with hints of coffee. Moderate and very fine carbonation and a very smooth thick almost oily feel. Bitter citrus peal hoppiness. A strong brew that has a nice feel.

Bottle Pours a deep golden amber with a hefty, dense light tan head. Lots of lasting sticky lacing. Mild fairly sweet malts are on the nose with subtle hops. No real sharp citrus or piney notes. Flavors are a sweet bready malt flavor. Slightlly woody with very little hops again. Very mild bitterness at the end. Feel is very smoth and a littel heavy. Quite soft on the carbonation."quaffable but far from inspiring"

A lighty amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is lovely hoppy. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy but also with notes of alcohol, grass, and oil, leading to a dry finish.
