On tap for Hard Liver '12, pours a clear dark amber with a small tan head. Aroma of stale malts, wood and sawdust. Flavour is the same with a bit of caramel underneath, but dominated by the stale malts and sawdust. Tastes quite off - not good.

On tap at the source with a clear golden hued body with a foamy white head that lasts and leaves some good lacing.. Aromas are fruity, citrus, dank, resin, pine, lightly herbal. Mild yeast esters, with minimal malt. Very nice. Flavors are hoppy, citrus, tangerine, and pine. All hops up front. Bitter and a light, crackery malt towards the finish. Medium bitterness, that keeps an overall bitter balance overall. Resin on the finish. Medium bubbles, lighter bodied, dry and easy drinking.

On tap. Great Barley Wine with lots of complexity, and dry enough to make it a pleasure to drink. Hazy (one of their murkier beers) bronze hue with a lasting off-white head with good lace, and some stray alcohol legs. Aromas are hoppy, citrus, pine and spicy. Alcohol, very rich malt with caramel and melanoidin caramelization. Some bready notes. Dark fruit esters, prunes, ripe plums, resins and mild vanilla. Flavors are mildly sweet up front, dark fruits, plums, dates, figs. A mild booze smack. Caramel, alcohol, medium to high bitterness, fruity, citrus hop flavors. Mild resin. Very nice balance with a rich caramelization. Lingering flavors. Creamy carbonation, warming, fuller bodied. Finish is a balance of alcohol (not a harsh alcohol), and bitterness. Very good.

Enjoyed on tap as part of the Beachwood sampler at Bruery Provisions in Orange, CA. Appearance like red wine but with a thin white ring. Aroma is kind of crazy, it’s non-apparent then starts to sting, and it smells like paint thinner. Taste is light, definitely tastes like a British ale, it has a candy like quality from the chocolate and caramel, but it’s subservient. I do enjoy it though, complex with a lot going on but I can’t pick many items apart.

Enjoyed on tap as part of the Beachwood sampler at Bruery Provisions in Orange, CA. Appearance is cloudy gold with thin frothy white head that laces to the glass. Aroma is ridiculously hoppy, all kinds including citrus, floral, grassy, and ’gym locker’...it’s all there and you can pick apart each one. Taste throws me off...the aroma is happier than the taste, which is unusual. It’s very smooth for a dIPA, hides the ABV well. Nicely done.

Enjoyed on tap as part of the Beachwood sampler at Bruery Provisions in Orange, CA. Appearance is pitch black, oil like consistency, thin dark tan head that rims around the glass. Aroma is slightly faint with lactose and chocolate. Taste is really nice and smooth, Oates, like an imperial oatmeal stout. I’m getting chocolate, lactose, and a hint of molasses. It’s pretty good, slightly burning sensation.
