Taster poured from a big bottle. Thanks to fonefan at the ratebeer meetingpoint, ØK 13. Hazy, orange-gold body. Smell of apricot and pumpkin. Likewise, the taste profile is made up by sweet fruits, dusty hops and mid-sweet malts. More sweet than bitter to the finish. Smooth and well bodied, mostly hidden alcohol. A decent one, without being too impressive (Copenhagen, 24.05.2013).

Sample from bottle (unknown donator). Cloudy golden to orange colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of orange marmalade and crystal malts, not as "fresh" as I hoped for. Hoppy flavour, medium sweet, not extreme for a double IPA, lacks freshness.

Tap at Dry Dock - turbid gold - headless - when cold, the beer was quite pleasant - quite a bit of funkiness, oak, a lot of white wine character, apricot and other tropical flavors - however, as the beer warmed, all I could taste was acid - mostly tart lactic acid, but also a fairly significant acetic punch - the other qualities were there, but the acids overpowered them - no nuance, just sourness - so, enjoyable at first, but once it got even remotely warm, I found it hard to finish the glass.

Hazy dark copper - nose of orange marmalade, doughy and dusty yeast, candi sugar, light metallic notes - flavor is sweet, but drier and spicier than the aroma suggests - quite a bit of dusty basement yeast character - light citrus - mild gingerbread - spicy finish - quite nice.

Bottle thanks to Doodler, thanks! Pours a dark bay with a grayish yellow brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a strong vanilla note with a bit of baking roasted malts. Flavor starts with vanilla but has a good amount of roasted malts in the finish and just a touch of bitter chocolate.

Refrigerated can obtained as free beer during free beer week from Denverdiv. Twelve ounce aluminum can poured into a shaker. Pours dense orange with lots of suspended yeast and small white head which eventually dissapates. Medium lacing, medium body, medium carbonation, and herbal hop aroma. Taste is herbal hops, evergreen hops, and nice bitter hop finish.

Weisse type glass draft pour at the Rackhouse Pub in Denver, Colorado. The pour is a cloudy yellow orange, with a well formed one inch white head. The tastes is nicely fresh wheat grain and orange citrus, along with a subdued clove yeast. The palate presents an almost flat mouth feel, which takes away some of the effectiveness if the beer. Nice enough Hefe.

22 oz bottle shared by scotter. The pour is a brown golden, hazed, with not much of a head. The aroma is warming caramel, toffee, brown sugar and an almost buttery softness. The taste is the sweet caramel, toffee and brown sugar malt, along with a floral perfume character. The palate is medium to heavy bodied, with a soft natural carbonation, and a sweet lingering finish. Nice integration of the booze, nice Barley Wine. Thanks for sharing this one Scott.
