hefewiseguy - February 13, 2013Smells sweet and hoppy. The barley comes thru on the tongue immediately. Great great beer. Sweet and bitter simultaneously.
witchal - May 22, 2012Nice ruby color and good head that fades quickly. Sweet hoppy nose. Sweet pallet although, In my humble opinion, way too hoppy for a barley wine. Feel a little duped into buying a mislabeled IPA.
zomerhouse - May 3, 2012Sweet nose. Great red color. Then the hops say hello. They balance well with the sweetness. Tasty, sweet, hoppy. Good sh:*t!
pcguitarwzrd - March 25, 2012A nicely balanced barley wine. Rich malt, even some fruity apple or pear notes, but not too sweet, and a good amount of hops at the end.
Borderking - February 26, 2012Hoppier than I prefer for a barleywine, but it really balances well here with the malt backbone. Tasty, hoppy, and sweet...a nice blend of flavors.
dogfishfan - February 18, 2012Hoppy finish. Alcohol note on the nose. Not crazy about barley wine though
GelatiKING - February 18, 2012Strong B-wine, hop-forward. Alcohol taste is significant. Not as much sweetness as other barley wines. Carmel color. Very nice with homemade cheesecake.
TrevorT - February 10, 2012Ok but not a barley wine fan. Pour is a vary bubbly motor oil brown with a white low lace head. Aroma is a power hoppiness with an strong alcohol burn. Taste is all hops with an alcohol and bitter bite. 2 of 5 stars.
