Bottle shared at RBWG ’15 Grand Tasting @ Coppertail, thanks to whomever shared this one, 21/02/15 #384/1000. Hazed orange amber with a moderate off white top. Nose is tangy citric, pine needle, yeast notes, caramel. Taste comprises sticky tropicana, mango, grapefruit, toasted notes, marshmallow, caramel. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close. This was more like a DIPA than a barley wine to me, lots of sticky trops and pine resin. Ok stuff none the less.

22 oz bottle (White waxed cap, why?) poured into a tulip-style pint glass. Dated Winter 2014/15. Dark brownish black with a finger of light tan head. Aromas of milk chocolate, caramel, oats. Tastes of weird slight tart notes, sour dark fruit and grapes, infection. Medium-light body with a dry finish. Must be infected, still on the shelf at Mt. Airy Liquors last month.

Backlog rating from 2015 at the brewery. Black, brown cream. Nice roast aroma. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Nice balance between roast, milk chocolate and hop aromatics. Dangerously quaffable. Nice

Rerate at the brewery, much cleaner light sweaty tropical, pleasant. Backlog rating from 2015 at the brewery. Fresh hop nose. Hazy golden, offwhite cream. Somewhat muddled fermented fruit and citric hop amalgam , sulphur and rubber off flavor. A shame after a promising start.
