Bottle from Winco. Nice deep copper body with silky, bubbly head. Aroma recalls fresh hop IPAs, taste adds the ginger and citrus elements, which blend nicely with hops for a snappy, spicy flavor. I really liked this, and its not too far removed from the atypical NW IPA.

Hazy pale copper with a white head. Full of citrus, grapefruit, light candied fruit, and more grapefruit. Thin body. Finish is mostly grapefruit juice with light sugars. Easy and tasty, if you like grapefruit. At 5.5% the body is a bit thin. A fuller feel would boost this one up a bit.

Draft - Lots of barrel and wood notes with some caramel sweetness. Cloudy brown with no head. Raisin, date and bourbon notes. This was served as something else, so unfortunately the rating number wise may be a bit lower as it wasn’t presented as a barley wine.

On tap at WA Winter Beer Festival 2015, pours a hazy dark amber orange with a small white head. Aroma smells like a BA barley wine, with caramel, bourbon, and dark fruits. Flavour is along the same lines, with dates, figs, bourbon and oak. Well-balanced, with not too much sweetness, nor booze. Excellent.

On tap at WA Winter Beer Festival 2015, pours a hazy dark orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma is brutal, with harsh wood and whiskey barrels - that's all there is. Flavour is a huge mess of a whiskey barrel bomb - lots of whiskey, booze and oak. Absolutely brutal. Not offensive but it's anything but elegant or refined. Okay.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt and a very dry crusty bready quality. Flavour is along the same lines, showcasing toasted malt, crusty bread and a nice pungent hop character providing great balance. Really quite nice - better than the average would have you believe.

Bottle from Albertsons. Nice looking pour, dark, but clear brown, with small silky head. Aroma seems to be a no-show, not bad, just not there. Taste is very light toasted malts, mild finish, seems watery. One of the first disappointing beers from No-Li.
