Location: 22 oz bottle from jcos, 3/7/11
Aroma: The nose is fairly sweet, candied sugar, caramel, spice, some citrus fruits, and toffee
Appearance: Pours a crystal clear reddish-orange color with a small bubbly white head, some lace
Flavor: This one tastes fairly sweet with a nice spice feel, not a ton of bitterness
Palate: It has a medium body, some tingle to the mouthfeel, smooth, slightly sticky, a little bit of heat
Overall Impression: Thanks Justin! This is a pretty interesting beer, and I'm glad DuClaw is starting to bottle more of their stuff. I liked this one, it is well-made and different then a lot of what is out there. I'm glad I got to try it.

Bready apricot aroma with fresh orange accents. Clear auburn, thin head. Woody and malty, only slightly sweet with orange peel present. Nice balance with a firm malt backbone

No aroma. Crystal clear copper, thin yellow head, some lacing. Full bodied and bitter. Horehound dominates with plum skins in the end. Dried leaves are also present. Quite a rustic and robust barleywine. Very bitter, but enough sweetness to make it pleasant. Not really my cup of tea though. I love a good rustic brown ale, but I prefer barleywines and pale ales with more of a citrusy character.

Peach and marshmallow creme aroma. Clear orange, medium head, little retention. Fruity peach and lemongrass. Medium bodied, tangy, very palatable. Wheat bread finish. Alcohol well concealed. Superb balance and texture. Lacks wheat character. Drinks more like a lightly hoppped DIPA, but quite delicious. This is my first Duclaw, but I’m liking what I’m seeing so far.

22 ounce bottle courtesy of a free beer contest run by GMCC2181. Thanks! Not sure how old this was when I got it, but I’ve had it 13 months, so its got some age. Also, thought this would be fitting for my 3666th rating. Pours a clear dark strawberry red with a medium tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of toffee, brown sugar, citrus hops. The taste is toffee, brown sugar, berries, citrus, peppery hop notes. Medium-full bodied. The hops have probably faded some, but I like that better anyway. Nice malty barleywine. This has aged well.
