Chestnut-brown, but clear ale; tan head. Bit soapy nose, lots of melanoidins suggested. Smells malty, if thinnish, but some C-hops in evidence. Bit dullish chocolatey flavour; (autumn) leaves too, but soon gone; straw. Very sticky, gristslick. If a bit dullish at first, it might well grow on you.

Very clear orange-golden beer, metallic, with no head left but a white rim. Rainwater nose, garden herbs, moss. Rainwater, grains and pale malts - dull. Very watery body, if with a creamy texture. Oh well... then again, my sample was probably not in the best of condition.

Pale yellow beer, hazed, with a small white head. Appears fresh hoppy with flowery, piney and rosemary notes. Ureum, dry hopsacks or -bales, Hessian sacks. Light bodied, but very gristslick. Nice, if a bit unihopdimensional, exaggerated for a Pilsener.

Small off-white head over clear metallic-orange beer. Rosewater & passionfruit, C-hops’ nose, very nice if unidimensional, citruscharacter. Bitterorange zeste, orange marmalade, copperflavour. Less sweet than the nose suggested, but the aftertaste reverts to dull-sweet. Medium bodied, very slick. More than OK, nice, citrussy IPA.

Bottle at SBWF, October 6, 2011. Dark brown with a small head. This was a very nice Barley Wine. Sweet with oak, reisin, roasted malt, wood. Thick mouth feel but still very drinkable. Would love to have a bottle or two at home.

GBBF. Cask. Hazy amber beer, little white head. Smooth low carbonation palate. Nice fresh orange - tangerine. The pale malt is a little funky but overall this is a refreshing beer.

Just noticed that these were separated. 2009 bottle. Pours with a slightly murky deep red-bronze hue a tan head that leaves excellent lace and legs. Aromas of dark fruit and barrel with some caramel, dark fruits, coconut and boozy notes. Very complex. Flavors show an amazing balance of alcohol, caramelization, dates, figs, barrel, dark fruits. Great beer! . Syrupy with light carbonation. That said I like the Mother of All Storms a bit more

Rating number 4500. 2010 Mother of All Storms thanks to DA (and BA: billschmeinke). Pours with a garnet to maroon body with a tan head that leaves excellent lace and legs. Aromas are boozy with raisins, dark fruits, coconut milk, sherry and toasted grain. Flavors are a great medley of alcohol, dates, dark fruits, nuts, bourbon, brandy, barrel, caramel, and coconut. Syrupy with light carbonation. Absolutely excellent!

Bottle at SBWF 2011. Pours oily black. Very imperial stoutish for a bw. Licorice, oily, raisins. Would have loved to enjoy it at home in a comfy sofa instead of at a festival.
