Description:
This dangerously drinkable garnet beauty is a hop lover's delight. The intense dry-hop nose and the alcohol content are perfectly balanced for a caramel candy-like malt finish. This is a serious beer for serious beer afficianados and it only gets better with age. Cellerable for 3 years.

Appearance - 4.5
Pours about an inch of sticky off-white head into an over-sized wine glass. It has a fairly good retention and leaves plenty of sticky lacing. The beer is a very dark copper color, light orange and a good amount of red.
Aroma - 4.0
A nice mix of malt and hops in the nose. Orange, grapefruit, pine and a malty sweetness make up the nose. There's also a small scent of alcohol.
Mouthfeel - 4.5
A full-bodied brew with low-medium carbonation. It's a bit chewy and syrupy, yet smooth and creamy.
Taste - 4.0
A nice big malty beginning. Lots of caramel and then some fruit and biscuit-like malts. Finishes with a mixture of pine and alcohol leaving a slight bitterness.
Overall - 4.5
This is one hoppy barley wine, and I'm loving it. It's like a malt forward Imperial IPA. I'm becoming more and more of a fan of the American style barley wine.
