Bottle. An almost eight year old bottle of Christmas Beer in July, why not? The beer was hazy, dark reddish/brown with a minimal head. Quite a lot of sediment in the bottle. The aroma was very vinous and sweet with raisin, caramel and dried fruit. The same in the taste, also some notes of chocolate, spices and a touch of earth. An interesting beer and certainly drinkable after all these years.

50cl bottle. Thanks Rene. Pours deep unclear amber with a small creamy white head and lacings. Nose is what I hoped for. Barley Wine matured style. Very vinous and lots of dark fruits, toffee and liquorice. Smooth, vaguely sticky and full palate. A bit warmth from alcohol. Only vague dusty/cellar/oxidized notes. Sweet taste with yeast, dark fruits , chocolate and liquorice. Only 7% but damm right still amazing after 6 years.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 16 Dec 2008. Dark brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty nose with dark fruit, gingerbread cake and earthy hints of cellar. Malty taste with notes of dark fruit, chocolate, toffee, gingerbread cake and Christmas spices. Very nice balance with a slightly vinous touch. Survived the cellar nicely but has probably lost some punch along the way. Very nice one though. In short: dark fruit, gingerbread cake and spices.

Bottled (BB 11/2009)
Ruby red, small off-white head, lace. Burned caramel with "vintage notes" in the nose. Dry, sherry-like palate. Dried dark fruits, raisins and coffee in the flavor with light caramelly and hoppy notes. A bit papery. Aging has thinned the body and it feels like 5 % beer. Seppo (sayaravai) was reading his rating from 2004, back then this was sugary. I think now as 4 years old this has peaked its prime, older ones are propably going to be less exciting. This bottle was already a bit too dry and thin for my liking.
