Backlog. On tap @ Popeye, June 2008. Copper to brown color. Aroma’s: sweet malts, sweet fruits. Flavor is mainly sweet, with a hint of bitterness. Medium bodied. Finishes moderate bitter. More Belgian style strong ale than a UK or US Barley Wine, but OK enough.

Bottled. Amber colour, small beige head. Aroma is very much barley wineish with all the malts, plum and alcohol in the body. Flavour is raisins, some bready malts, caramel malts and alcohol. A very pleasant and enjoyable barley wine.

Draught at Ushi-Tora, Tokyo. Hazy brownish amber, no head. Salty woody nose. Fairly sweet with dense full body. Well rounded and elegant with a flavour reminiscent f mature plum wine. Warming with growing late bitterness. Complex and full flavoured.

Caramel brown in color with a wispy head. Malty, sweet, dark fruits, hops, oranges, and alcohol in the aroma. Syrupy thick body. Flavor is of deep fruit, thick caramel malts, cherries, honey, chocolate, toasted malts, with light wood. Pretty hoppy, as well. Finish is bitter and dry with plenty of alcohol. Whoa, a damn fine barley wine.

2007 version, bottle. Dark brown with a reddish-orange tint, high, foamy off-white head. Very fruity, hoppy aroma, with dark fruits, a good amount of sweetness, port, and strong malt. But hops predominate like in a Bigfoot. Very appealing aroma. Very sweet flavor, fruity, cherries, caramel, honey, alcohol heat. Good hops for bittering and aroma. Great balance. Very complex and interesting, and a great, dry finish of hops, rich malt, sweet, and heat. A very nicely done barley wine. This has perfect body and carbonation. Really well done. A treat. Best BW I’ve had from Japan.
