Draft at Steel Toe. From notes. Citrus and earthy floral hops with a solid malt backbone to balance it out. Enjoyable.

Draft at Steel Toe during RBSG. Caramel and toffee with a good dose of vanilla and a bunch of bourbony oak. I really like this one. Luckily I got to try this side by side with the non-BA version.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of residual sugars, caramel, rye whiskey, and alcohol. Flavour brings out a huge profile, full of intense cloying sweetness, alcohol, caramel, and more intense sweetness. Fairly complex and cloyingly sweet - too much so. The booze isn't that noticeable but the sweetness detracts. Decent, but way too sweet.

Bottle from MeadMe, thanks again, shared with the TC crew. black with an off white head, dark sugary with lots of hop and a ton of ethanol, hints of vanilla and oak. A bit boozy but nice sipper.

750mL bottle, big thanks to dcschiller for sharing this beauty of a barleywine, pours with a murky mahogany body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up musty sweet prunes and dates, molasses and brown sugar ending in firm booze notes. I’m not sure if these words convey it but the aroma is very inviting. The taste is rich smooth and musty notes with prunes and dates and figs that are covered with brown sugar. It runs quickly into smooth boozy whiskey barrel notes as it heads to midway. This is darn smooth and rich and yummy sipper, lovin’ the hell out of this.

22oz bottle shared with Anndiesel. Hazy, unfiltered orange-apricot color. Frothy, steady white head. A pretty classic US IPA, well done, with just a pinch more hop character that throws it over the top. Rather clean for the style, very nice citrus and melon hop tones. Really grew on me as I sipped at it. Subtle hop decadence, remains drinkable, great beer. This beer should be in sixpacks.

22oz bomber split with Anndiesel. Deep burgundy stained glass-red color, foamy glass lacing head. I’m not the biggest Amber fan, but this one is really quite nice. Big smooth malt tones, with some definite sweet fruity amber malt tones, but balanced out by rich caramel and other specialty malts. Quality hop balance, give its a citrus, bubblegum edge. Solid offering.

Bottle thanks to a trade! Pours a hazy very dark brown with a yellowish brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is quite sweet with vanilla, toffee, caramel and sweet breads with a hint of chocolate. Flavor is similarly sweet with toffee and caramel with a bit of darker sweet bread and chocolate in the finish.
