5 oz draft. Flavor is a classic quad. Shows dark brown sugar, molasses, and bready malt. Hints of old hard candy. ABV is not noticeable. Classic well-made example of the style.

4 oz draft. Aroma of mild cocoa and nuts. Flavor displays nits, mild burnt malt with the weakest hint of coffee in the finish. Medium and body with a soft coffee bean finish.

5 oz draft. Aroma is cherry and mild funk. Flavor is the funky Lambert yeast with a nice long, lingering tart cherry in the finish. Funk, barnyard and tart cherries round out the entire profile. Good

Coffee, heavy whiskey, pecan, dark chocolate, and musty sherry. Sweet and malty and syrupy. Heavy body, smooth and flat (not unexpected, given the age). Clean, flavorful, and quite enjoyable.

Bottle shared by Johnny. Oh man, an old school barleywine with loads of bourbon, awesome! Heavy fat bourbon aroma. Love it!! Malts, caramel, bourbon, soft wood, lightly boozy, vanilla. Light alcohol burn. Burnt sugars. Awesome beer. Even after 10 years and being nearly flat. Awesome beer. Love it.

Tasty WCIPA, lots of sweet citrus and pine and caramel, a nice mix of modern juicy notes and old school IPA goodness. Solid pint.

Leans towards the style of hazy I can tolerate, where the sweetness is kept in check and the beer isn’t overhopped to the point of being a chive-flavored astringent mess. Moderate tropical grapefruit notes accented by a touch of melon, finished off with a mineral bitterness. More pine would be nice. Not bad.
