Draft pour to a tulip at Tapped. Glowing orange juice haze. Thin cream head. Slick and juicy first sip. Honestly I'm in disbelief that this is imperial. And on top of that, it's easily imperial. Tom's of melon and citrus aroma. Flavor matches closely. Has a sweet side to this fruity double hazy. Nothing intense about it though. It seems like extensive dry hopping has put a unique touch on this one. Too easy drinking for my usual IPA taste, but that seems like such an odd thing to complain about. Solid.

Gold, white head. Nose of pine with tea notes. Similar palate, tea and tons of pine, woody notes. Somewhat dank. Quality brew, but I am not a fan

473mL can. Pours very murky ruddy brown with beige head. Aroma is thick, bourbon, brown sugar, roasted nuts. Flavour has tons of bourbon barrels, brown sugar, nuts. Reasonable complexity and quite enjoyable.

Amber-brown, a bit of haze. No head. There's some alcohol, light caramel. On the palate, it's a bit thin, it's got a nice bourbon note, but probably not enough residual sugar in the base to bring everything together.

16 oz. can, pours a cloudy reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma has big bourbon barrels, caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Flavour is sugary, with lots of brown sugar, and caramel. Fairly simplistic for a near-17% BA barleywine. It's good, but needs more. Good.

16oz (thx, Brian!) @ Matt's house. Appearance: hazy copper with a beige head. Aroma: caramel, American oak, creamy notes, toffee. Taste: along the same lines, very boozy, pretty sharp. Overall: would be cool if this one would have a better integration and be smoother, but it's still good for what it is.

Poured from 473mL can. Hazed orangey brown with light beige head. Toffee, oak barrel, feint vanilla, a bit boozy, better than the Anniversary Ale Year 4. Decent.
