  Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

  Poured up on tap at tipsy where it exhibits an opaque hazy dull gold body that supports a nice near white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up mango, pineapple, a bit of cantaloupe and then murmurs of tangy tangerine and faint grapefruit. The taste delivers smooth soft mango and cantaloupe ad well as more tangy and hop bitter notes of tangerine, tangelo and grapefruit. Overall it maintains a nice balance that bleeds toward being a little too soft and sweet.

  O.H.S.O. - Gilbert Barrel Aged Te Quiero (2023)
  rated 4.4 4 days ago

  Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

  Pint can pours with a with a body that has a deep dark void of darkness that supports no head at all. A swirl of the beer leaves a lasting brown stain to the inside of the glass. The aroma initially pummels with sweet smelling chocolate fudge, chocolate cake and then the blunted bourbon barrel treatment rimmed thinly with a dark berry sensation and murmurs of winter spices. The taste delivers loads of slick malt sweetened dark chocolate flowing into increasing booziness as mild winter spices and a hint of vanilla are noticed. To midway supple bourbon barrel and a sort of a raspberry character comes forward as the booziness hits its peak and stays there into the finish. As the flavors fade there's a pleasing chili pepper warmth creating a fuzzy level of comfort. Great bold deep rich sipper.

  Roses by the Stairs Schmoke and a Pancake
  rated 4.1 1 week ago

  Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

  32oz growler pours with a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a full tan head of foam. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts mingling with firm dark roasted coffee notes leading to a soft smooth subtle smoke sensation. The taste is similar as it delivers plenty of roastiness going from highly roasted malts to highly roasted coffee and then a bit of spicy maple notes. To midway faint vanilla bean comes to the surface just as the various sweet notes unveil a cloud of smokiness. Another sip and the smokiness seems to join up with the roasted coffee creating a mild wood char flavor. Fun beer.

  Tombstone Not Really A Barley Wine
  rated 4.1 1 week ago

  Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

  Pint can pours with a mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up molasses, black strap molasses and then brown sugar dusted prunes. The taste delivers similar notes of sweet molasses, a spicy black strap molasses sensation and then more molasses drizzled over prunes. It rides into the finish rather effortlessly with lingering sweet maltiness hanging around for a while. Solid sipper.

  Tombstone Maris the Classy Otter
  rated 4.3 1 week ago

  Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

  Pint can pours with a dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a fair load of dark fruity esters like plums, raisins, blueberries and a bit of dates as well as faint murmurs of reduced sugars like caramel. The taste follow suit nicely with smooth supple sweet plums, raisins, blueberries and a sense of date like richness. To midway and into the finish lights amounts of sweet malts and sweet smooth caramel add layers and depth to the experience. This is smooth and supple-y sweet estery goodness. This might improve a bit with age but it's already pretty well integrated and inviting. Nice classic estery barleywine sipper.
