aroma: well blended soft velvety almost roasted malty note with a bit of boozy notes also. not very woody. malty but more dry nutty malty than roasted malty. is a barley wine so it fits that well. not much coconut, nothing stands out as coconut, but it can be found if you look for it. phenolic boozy hit if i sniff it fast. a abit too rough and boozy i think. Ignoring the boozy sting i do get a very soft and blended and velvety aroma that is complex but very tighly knit.
flavor is surprisingly sweet, notes of wood, roasted malts, chocolate, toasted coconut flakes, no boozy sting at all, salty notes, really good salty licorice, flavor is a whole other level than aroma. i can still sense the stingby booze when i breathe thrugh the nose while tasting - but the flavor is awesome. A bit to the sweet side, but totally complex and well composed and very rounded.
not worth the 999dkk i paid for the can - but i'd do it again if i had never tasted this one before. it is unique and it is made very well indeed. Nearly all other barley wines will pale if taste compared to this.
Edit. now tried the rest of the can after a day in the fridge, so more chilled. Even better. licorice and coconut is stronger. less boozy cold. increasing score.

В аромате вообще кокоса нету, что удивило. На вкус образец идеального барлика в старой формации, никакого намека на стаутность. Много карамели, патоки, ириски, меда, сухофрукты, бочки конечно, кокос есть но только где то на третьем плане, а хотелось его чуть больше.

Classic added subtle booziness and fig syrup plus hints of delicious coconut, like coconut wrapped figs, but subtle! Not a coconut bomb, so the rolos are still focused, chocolate bourbon fig cake galore.
