Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is sweet malt with caramel, orange peel, ripe fruity and spicy notes, hops, berries. Flavour is medium sweet with a surprising long bitterness in the finish. Body is medium to full. I prefer hoppy Barley Wines and this one's interesting, with lots of unexpected flavours such as (dark) berries, spices and orange peel. Good!

330ml bottle. Clear deep ruby appearance, good off-white head. Punchy fruity nose. Bitter, woody introduction with brown sugar, molasses, grainy moments, moderately sweet with some caramel notes. Quite pokey, flavoursome. Very good.

Just a light haze on this amber beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Some mildly bitterish toffee in the malts along with a touch of malt cream. Dominant taste is that Tonka cocoa vanilla nutty thang. Have to say it works a little better in barleywines than impys where it tends to piss me off. Some marmalade bitterness on the smooth semi dry finish. Tasty enough.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. hazy dark amber with a thin white head. Caramel aroma with some raisins. Taste is sweet at first with a caramel sweetness but quickly turns very bitter with a lingering bitter finish. Bit sharp and maybe too alcoholic but otherwise very decent barley wine.
