Bottled. Clear, reddish dark brown beer with a large, creamy, beige head. Some lacings. Hoppy aroma with pine, pineapple and a malty sweetness. Hop-dominated flavor too, with some sweetness. Quite unbalanced. Too sweet body, but with a nice fullness. Long, dry bitterness in the finish. This beer could definately use some more maltiness. (060604)

Bottle from Sammy: Poured a deep copper color ale with small off-white foamy head with average retention. Aroma of deep caramel malt with some very subtle hops. Taste is also dominated by sweet caramel malt with very little hops presence that I could detect. Body is a bit thin and alcohol is well hidden. A bit weak overall and definitely lacking character to make this worthwhile.

Bottled (Thanks MrWalker). A bit hazy amber reddish colour with mediumsized beige head. Aroma is plum, alcohol, candysugar and some fruity hops. Flavour is mainly the same, but with hops coming in more strong and balancing it up. Very wellbalanced and welldone Barley Wine.

[Bottled, thanks MrWalker!] Clear reddish amber, minimal head.Striking aroma of grapefruit and caramel. Sweet and full bodied with fairly soft mouthfeel. The malt flavour is more prominent than in most American barley wines, but there are a good amount of aromatic hops as well. A very solid and well made barley wine with some personality of its own.

Growler fill from the Hop Devil Grill, thanks Mike. About 45 minutes of driving until I cracked this. Pours dark bronze with some lacing. Aroma is all hops, mainly piney. So here automatically i am thinking another unoriginal hopped up west coast beer. But the flavor is actually a bit different. Actual taste behind the hops. Some pepperiness in it. Bitter at the end.

Bottle. Pours copper with not much of a head. Hoppy citrus aroma. Bland hoppy flavor, not a bittersweet hoppiness... just kinda average with some hints of citrus. Not bad, not great.

A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet alcoholic combined with notes of malt and caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of wood and over ripe fruits.
