I thought some of you east coasters would have posted already...what's up? How are them 999's?

Unfortunately, the guy I was going to do the tastings with couldn't make it over today, so my reviews will have to wait until later in the week. On the upside, the three donated 999s and mine will all be tasted and reviewed simultaneously with notes taken, so everyone should get a fair comparison. I'll post all results and reviews and pictures.
Sorry man. MY GOD D#$M CAR SUCKS! It should be ready by tomorrow. I'm definitely looking forward to a good tasting.
Kilted brewer, that's not mine, mine has just 999 written on a gold cap.
No problem man, was it the hub bearing like I thought?
I'm a slacker and going to have to do these over the weekend.

Wildwest, your up next!
O: Very nice beer that is certainly an American Barleywine. It does lack some malt richness and complexity, but that is nitpicking.

Ok, pretty sure this was Nealf's 999.

Substantial medium tan head that lasted through most of the glass. Amber in color and fairly clear (much clearer than my own)
Strong aroma of bread of fruit. Almost like a pie
Taste just like it smells with a light sweetness, bready and fruity.
Full bodied and slightly sweet, but not cloying.
Warming alcohol without noticeable hot alcohols.
Compared to my own 999 I tasted last night, this one has lighter fruit flavors and is less sweet. The beer tastes cleaner and is not as dark.
Really enjoying sampling this.

Overall an excellent version of an American style Barleywine. The only change I would make is maybe a little less attenuation of the beer. I'm guessing this was a very active ferment that fermented down fairly good considering the O.G. of the beer. Maybe a little cooler fermentation temp to give a slower ferment and getting a little higher T.G. Again this is just a guess on my part. The other guess is that your O.G. was a little lower than the 1.116 of the recipe, maybe in the mid 90'S?
