The 2010 release of Nemesis is best described by our brewing team as “a dark barley wine that pours black with a subtle mahogany hue. Brewed with 5 malts and no shortage of hops for a pleasantly bitter booming flavor. Roasty and toasty with a multitude of tastes that melts on your tongue”.

Small offwhite head, retention is good, lacing is spotty. Clear, dark brown color, ruby edging. Sweet malts, berries, light roast and alcohol in the nose. Body is med/full, oily on the palate, done carbonation, lightly acidic. Dark fruity flavors, hint of raisin, plum with caramel and light molasses. Finish is dry, dark and bitter.

Courtesy of JAXSON, thanks Jeremy! Yes! Pours mahogany with tan head. The aroma is roasty - burnt malts, pine hops, grapefruit hops, earthy black tea and some black licorice. The taste is smooth to start and gets a bit rough with booziness at times. I get firm pine hop bitterness, grapefruit hops and then a thick slab of burnt malts mixing with chocolate malts. Yummy.

Pours a deep maple syrup brown .. decent low foam .. . i want to stab the mythbusters .. . syrup, sugar, brandy, and bitter burnt hops .. pretty nice stuff, in a year it will be golden .. . . they have the guards in the backfield and they have the center to the right and the quarterback isn't even there..

never woulda guessed barleyine. black, super-hopped (100 ibus) and 12%. rich, dark roasted malts and a ton of hops in the flavor and aroma. would acheive pretty good balance except that everything is so in your face (not that there's anything wrong woth that). overall, a good but not great beer with a lasting chocolate bitter finish.

Nemesis sampled back to back. 2010 being a black barleywine is still a high octane brew although the aggressive hops have started to subdue. Mildly burnt, bitter and nutty...this one is sort of stuck in limbo right now and could likely use a couple years of age. 2009 being a wheat wine has progressed nicely compared to when I had it fresh. It's dried out considerably and the hot burn has subsided. Fruity and mature.
