On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear amber with a white head that dissipated slowly to the edges and laced slightly. Aroma had a combination of pine and sweet grains with a bit of backing citrus and resin. The resin was more present on the tongue with sweet grains. There were growing notes of both pine and citrus to make a complex finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured near black with a dark brown head that lasted throughout the beer and laced slightly. Aroma was full of molasses with a present dark grain note and a hint of chocolate and nuts. Flavor began with molasses but that gave to dark grains with a bit of sweet chocolate and an underlying nuttiness.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear reddish amber with a tan head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was surprisingly fruit forward with sweet grains and a bit of alcohol. Flavor was surprisingly fruit forward as well with some red fruits joined by a strong sweet grain and biscuit backbone making for an interesting take on a barley wine.

Had this on tap at Revolution a few weeks back. Poured black with a brown head that dissipated very slow to the edge. Aroma had strong roasted malt notes with a slight bitterness underlying from dark chocolate. Flavor was similar with roasted malt dominating and dark chocolate backbone. The alcohol was much more pronounced in the finish of the beer.

Sample at the brewpub. This brew pours black with a medium tan head that dissipates steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted coffee, molasses and malt. Rich and smooth body with flavors of roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate, coffee and a bit of licorice. The finish is roasty with a lingering coffee aftertaste. Good all around.
