Subtle but distinct nose, beautifully rich body, fuller than most IPAs and less hoppy than expected. Surprisingly smooth for an ABV over 10 and has the Sierra Nevada touch.

Overripe peaches, full caramel malt body, still quite bitter. Not really my style, but it's good.

Huge upfront bitterness, long finish, I would recognize this from among many. Great start for my recent Craft Cellar expedition

That looks like a bourbon county brand barley wine ale to me?

Lovely hot lawn mower bag bouquet. Lemongrass at the end. Tongue stropping hops and beautiful leathery mouthfeel. 10.4% ABV is well integrated.
