mcberko (34280) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 24, 2018On tap at Tampa Bay Brewing, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy and caramel malt, with resinous hops, and a touch of toffee. Flavour is intense, with a mouth assault of resinous hops and caramel malt. For something so intense, it’s not abrasive or harsh at all. Good stuff.

alexsdad06 (16451) - West Chester, Ohio, USA - APR 11, 2017Draft to taster at Tampa Bay brewing at 10.2%. Pours a clear dark golden color with a small off white head. The aroma and flavor have sweet malts, caramel, herbal notes, some moderate fruit character, alcohol, decent enough.
kathouse (1942) - LAS VEGAS, Nevada, USA - MAY 15, 2016Cloudy red with an off white foam. Malt nose and only hints of caramel. Good body and alcohol balance.
S_Side_Smitty (776) - Lakeland, Florida, USA - APR 22, 2016Pours cloudy orange-amber with a substantial off white head. Aroma is sweet & slightly muted grains. Taste is hop forward with some syrupy sweetness up front. The hops take over after that with a not-quite-citrus fruit quality and stark bitterrrrness that goes to a lengthy finish. Definitely an American style barley wine.
brokensail (18691) - Bay Area, California, USA - DEC 29, 2015On tap @ Tampa Bay Brewing. Copper in color with a thin ring of white foam. Sort of on the boozy side and, of course, quite sweet. Plenty of caramel, brown sugar, and toffee. Big time gold raisin fruitiness, too. Maybe a hint of cotton candy? Light floral and woody/herbal hops. Not a winner for me.
drfabulous (14226) - Lexington, Kentucky, USA - MAR 20, 2015Draught at brewery. A bit of a boozy pour. Sweet with caramel and brown sugar. Orange body.
AirForceHops (12438) - Epping, New Hampshire, USA - MAR 14, 2015Draft at the original Tampa location. Clear ruby color with tiny head retention. Aroma is candied dark fruits, thicker caramel and a hop I can’t really place my finger on. The body is medium and the best from the sampler so far. The flavor has a huge amount of candied fruits. Sugar coated grapefruit, raisins, plums, with a mild floral type hop. Nicely done.
Dogbrick (17956) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - JUL 27, 2014Sample at the brewpub. Dark amber color with a thin white head that recedes quickly. Spotty lacing. Aroma of malt, caramel and fruity hops. Full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, ripe fruit and earthy hops. The finish is syrupy with a grainy malt and fruit aftertaste. Decent overall.
AndyW68 (2036) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - JUN 27, 2014Clear copper pour with no head. Aroma is non existent. Taste is dark fruit and Brown sugar. Syrupy.
