Killer Penguin 2010, American Barley Wine Ale

There is simply nothing I look forward to every autumn more than a bottle of Killer Penguin.  I’m pretty serious about that.  When I first moved to Boulder I read something about the release of Killer Penguin and that it was limited, killer, and not going to be on the shelves long.  I found a bottle at Liquor Mart and started an annual tradition in my home.

I am a big fan of barley wine, and Boulder Beer produces a smooth, complex, sippable beer.  If only I had a secret to easily removing the wax coating.

I bought two bottles in November 2010 and consumed them.  Then, this week (February) while stocking up at Liquor Mart for a Vail ski vacation, I saw 4 bottles left in the fridge.  I grabbed two more.  Gotta share this with my dad!
