This is REALLY good stuff. A version of barleywine with a bit less body behind it.
Very drinkable, and the high ABV is disguised well by hops and malt.

Thanks to my friend Chris for this one (I think). Only date code is "217166", so no idea how old this one is.
12oz bottle poured into 14oz teku. Poured a mostly murky dark orange/light brown color with about 1/3 inch of off-white head that low retention and lacing.
Sweet malts had the front of the nose, with a nice earthy wheat behind it, and a noticeable alcohol scent.
Very similar on the tongue, with the alcohol heat being even more noticeable.
The body was medium-full, and very smooth, with a sweet finish.
Drinkability was very good, especially if you like the style (and, I do!).
Overall, a nice brew that should return to their line-up.

Big Sky Power Wagon, 11% ABV, 53 IBU. Pours light gold, with an excellent 1 finger off-white head that left excellent lacing. Nose is sweet malt, taste follows with a slight bitter close. Probably the sweetest beer I've had. Excellent mouthfeel, and overall excellent.
