FC Nordsjælland vs. Chelsea FC Champions League football night tasting in Odense, October 2012. Chestnut colour with a tiny off-white head. Malty rich aroma with caramel, figs and dats, molasses and sherry. Sweet vineous malty and fruity flavour. Still and a bit thin, lacking in complexity (compared to the world class inspirational beers)

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, Oktober 2012. Pours ruby amber with a bubbly head. Nose is dried fruit, alcohol and mild spices. Soft with a low carbonation. Warming alcohol. It’s tasty but perhaps it lacks a bit in complexity. Sticky and oily.

Small yellow-beige head over fully muddy red-brown beer, not very lively. Very vinous nose, as red wine or red fruit wine; old oak, alcohol and fusels. Chocolate & liquorice aromas. Warm, richly vinous and chocolate flavours with some discreet velvety hop notes. Lots of fusels, and somewhat agressive alcohol/acids mix. Very slick, oily, viscous, lot of alcoholwarming; velvety in the mouth and heating in the throat at the same time. Not half bad - and double better than the Islay Malt version.

Bottle from Pazzeria, Milan
Cloudy brown color, mostly flat. Very strange aroma of ripe fruits, almost rotten fruits, dates maybe; with very light fudge; it gets a bit interesting only later. Good body strength; very sweet caramel and malt flavor, with a touch of vanilla, light cookies, with relatively low bitterness and some alcohol warmth.
There are two families of Barley Wines, English and American, and this is neither of those; it doesn’t have character, and it’s mostly like a malt soup.

Bottle, thanks fiulijn! Hazy mahogany colour, no head. Plenty of caramel that covers the strawberry fields below. Sweet and full bodied with soothing mouthfeel. Spun sugar and caramel, soft with very mild warmth. Some bitterness in a finish shared alike between caramel white pepper, honey, cardboard and satin.

Bottled. A murky red-brown beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of chocolate and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, caramel sauce, malt, and a bit of hops, leading to a dry finish. The alcohol bites the tongue. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a cloudy opaque brown with a small yellowish head. Nutty, caramellish oxidized aroma - lovely though. Rich, fat body, low carbonation. Fat caramel, nuts, toffee and overripe fruit. Warming alcohol finish with subtle hops. Great UK-style Barley Wine. 130612
