I had a couple of ~2 oz samples at the Boulevardia Taps & Tastes in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is haze lighter golden with not much white head. The aroma is citrus lemon, spice floral and noticeable salt. The taste is a pleasant blend of the citrus lemon, floral grass and lasting salt in the aftertaste. The palate is is light bodied, soft carbonation clean salt finish. Solid.

750 ml bottle purchased at Royal Liquors in Kansas City, Missouri. 9/13 date sticker on the bottom of the bottle. Wish I had noticed that at the store. The pour is a hazed orange golden with an off white head. The aroma is faded mineral grass hops along with toasted malt. The taste is grassy earth hop along with the toasted malt. The hop character is faded and muted. The palate is medium bodied with the mineral grass after taste. Solid, though I definitely need to try this fresher.

Pour is a black with no head. Aroma is a nice roasted malt and not much else but hold on the flavor is way better. Roasted malt to the extreme. The char on this is by far the most intense I’ve had in awhile. Big roasted notes and then a peanut butter is left on the tongue after the swallow. Very tasty and chewy.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a very small white head. Aroma is hoppy resin and sweet malts. Flavor is a pine resin with thick sweet syrupy malts. Its not real heavy but definitely a thick mouth feel. Finish has leaves a nice hop coating the tongue. This was a decent beer more of a thick IIPA than a barley wine. Plenty hoppy and sweet.

Bottle in Vail, courtesy of jcnielsen. Thanks bro! Pours a hazy deep orange appearance with a foamy cream colored head. Pretty fucken potent, pine, dank hoppy, moderately sweet toasted malty aroma. Pretty thick malty body though I wouldn’t go as far as call it goopy. Slight orange citrusy, piney, herbal, light resiny, bitter hoppy flavor. A bit heavy but not bad.

Sample at Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar. The beer is a hazy yellow color with a thick fluffy white head that dissipates slowly. Sticky patches of lacing on the glass. Fruity aroma with some yeast in the background. Light to medium body with flavors of ripe fruit, yeast and slight spice. The finish is fruity up front with an earthy yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at Bridge Tap House & Wine Bar. Pours a hazy dark copper color with a medium creamy off-white head that diminishes gradually. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, pine and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of resiny hops, caramel and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a piney hops aftertaste. Good IPA all around.
