Flavor of cereal, straw, crackers, and mild lager yeast hints. Light bodied with moderate carbonation and a dry mouthfeel. Clean drinking.

Can. Nose is vanilla, nutty, dark fruit rinds, oak, caramel. Taste comprises sticky toffee pudding, dates, and a medium whiskey slap in the finish. Good amount of lingering oak. The medium body and a fine carbonation level. Texture is drying with light booze that isn’t too distracting. For a younger barley wine, not to shabby.

Pretty good stuff. Roast and dark chocolate with a little nut. Black pour with decent head and lacing. Bitter finish with a little caramel like what 5 cents at the front of the gas station gets you. Can thanks to Johnnnnie.

Can from the source. Brilliantly clear deep yellow with a decent sized bubbly white head that persists. Sweet crackery pilsner maltiness with hints of spice and flowers on the nose. Initially a hint of skunk and green apple but that dissipated almost instantly. Rich crackery toasty malt flavor with some earthy spicy citrus hops and a touch of non descript fruit. Spirited carbonation gives a sharp tingle to the mouthfeel. Medium body. That’s a pretty damn tasty lawnmower beer right there.

Can. A- Whiskey, butterscotch, subtle dark fruit, caramel apples. A- Brown color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Whiskey, booze, butterscotch, subtle bitterness, caramel, apples, mild cinnamon. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly boozy finish. O- This must be a great homebrew club because this beer is on point. Would love to know what the 25 ingredients were. Had fresh at less than two months old. Tons of whisky booziness and butterscotch. Some caramel baked apples really come through as it warms. Really want another can to age and see how it holds up. Drinks nice and smooth. Yum.

From my brother: pours a murky amber with an off white head. Aroma is a rich caramel, pine, plenty of hops. Taste is rather sweet with a hoppy undertone. A hefty one for sure but nice enough.

Can pour into shaker pint glass from Hannaford, Bedford NH. Appearance is clear, pale orange with light sparkle, 1/2-finger width white head with poor retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is strong pineapple, tangerine, lemon, mild resin. Taste is moderately sweet initial tropical fruit with more bitter, resinous 2nd half over malt backbone. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft-to-average carbonation and mix of sweet and bitter finish. Overall, I wish the taste reflected the aroma a little better with more sweet and variety. Decent but pretty middle of the road in this category.

Can from the source. Dirty brown color with a small off white head that dissipates quickly. Caramel and toffee with a bit of apple and fruit on the nose rounded out with some alcohol vanilla tannin and bourbon notes, Flavor follows the aroma quite well. Its a sipper for sure, I’m curious how this will age.

On tap at the source. Solid black with a decent tan head that persists. Chocolate caramel and earth with some faint vanilla and a moderate cinnamon kick. I couldn’t find much peppery heat in this Decent beer.
