Draft pour to a tulip, enjoyed at Hop and Hound. Pleasant surprise this beer was, for me. I don't really know why. I've always enjoyed the beers from these guys. For some reason, I guess I've just tried a few "attempts" at this style lately and have been disappointed. This is better than the NE style IPAs that some big notable local brewers have done in recent memory. Impressive. Hazy, juicy orange pour. A ton of orange and citrus fruit on the aroma. Inviting. Cool, Refreshing flavor, that drinks way easier than an imperial tag would suggest. Ton of resinous hops here. Juicy hop deliciousness. Grabbed a second of these. Loved it.

750ml bottle from Tavour. Nose is toffee, toffee, and a hint of vanilla. Clear rusty red with a big heavy lacing rusty tan head. Flavor is moderately sweet toffee, extremely smooth covering the ABV completely with the tiniest hint of bitter in the finish. Nice barleywine!

Amber-brown colour, without much in the way of a head. The aroma is has pecan, a little bit of toffee, alcohol. Sweet, has a nice alcohol burn late, but more important there’s some date, fig, good balance, and the alcohol sort of dries it out late. Decent barley wine, nice balance if a strong brew, a little bit rough and ready.

750mL bottle, pours a dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out caramel malt, light toffee and dark fruits. Flavour is thick, with caramel malts, light toffee, a touch of vanilla, and dark fruits. Very thick palate, with a caramel, dark fruity finish. Very sweet, but it works.

Brown with a tan head. Very sweet. Malt forward, ripe fruit, molasses, toasted, light wood, nutty underneath. Full, slick body. Finish is sweet booze. Quite a nice BABW.

On tap at McKay's Taphouse, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out perfumey hops, some cosmetic notes (almost paint thinner), and burnt rubber. Flavour follows through on that burnt rubber and plastic quality, along with perfumey hops and lots of phenols. Something went wrong here. Phenolic, perfumey and boozy. Not good.

Draft pour pint at Whitewall. It seems like half the beers advertised as Milds end up being something else, but this seems as authentic as I have ever known. Dark copper brown pour with a bright white foam head. Very toasty malt aroma. Flavor is a sturdy roasted malt. A ton of flavor here, subtle hops with a gentle bitterness. Has a hinted bran finish. Tasty light beer that is full of flavor. Very nicely done.
