22 ounce bottle into snifter; Spring 2011 bottling, 2 years old now. Pours hazy dark ruby red color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big caramel, raisin, apple, toast, light pine, brown sugar, orange rind, brown bread, orange zest, floral, grass, candi sugar, and toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt notes with a fair amount of hop presence. Taste of caramel, raisin, apple, toast, brown sugar, light orange rind, light pine, brown bread, floral, candi sugar, and toasted earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of raisin, apple, caramel, toast, brown sugar, light pine, floral, candi sugar, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice balance and complexity of malt flavors with a fair amount of hop presence; with zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a creamy, fairly slick, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent American Barleywine at 2 years of age. Very nice balance and complexity of malt flavors with moderate hops; and very smooth to sip on. A very enjoyable offering.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy amber with a small white head. The aroma is vanilla and oak. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet malt and vanilla with caramel and light dry finish. A good barleywine from Troegs.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 7/12/10
Aroma: The nose has some has some sweet malts, brown sugar, ripe fruit, caramel, and some booze
Appearance: Pours a dark reddish-mahogany color with a lasting beige head that leaves scattered lace
Flavor: Leans malty, it is relatively sweet, lots of brown sugar, some earthy hop presence for balance
Palate: Has a fairly full bodied feel to it, smooth, slightly oily, and with just a little bit of heat in the finish
Overall Impression: This is a pretty solid beer. It has a pretty big feel to it, lots of flavor, good sweetness that is balanced more by the booze then the hops, but they are there as well. I like this one, a very solid beer for sure.

Pours a purplish burgundy in glass with little white head. Nose is fig, raisin and molasses. Taste is sweet fig, brown sugar and dark fruits. There is a nice dry bitterness to it.

Tap at Birrerria Paradiso in Georgetown. Murky chestnut color, tan head, massive lacing. Aroma of mud and acorns. Taste has strong malt and hops up front, bitter cocoa, nutmeg and other light spice. Very complex and flavorful.
