Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Doodler. Pours deep golden with a slight haze and a tiny rough white head. Sweet alcoholic aroma of overripe fruit. Solid body, almost flat, a little overripe fruit with an amazingly hot alcohol finish. 270411

Tap at Falling Rock - served in a pint glass - a strange beer, this - turbid reddish pour, with a soft, fluffy , head - a lot of treacle sweetness up front, with some fruity notes of prune, fig, and black cherry - sweetness actually intensifies after that, but the finish cuts this with a quite bizarre, almost malt vinegar-like acidity, and an almost , earthy, leathery quality - the counterpoint between extreme sweetness and the subsequent acidity make it hard to finish this - there are some interesting elements here, but it doesn’t come together that well.

Bottle bought from the brewery and traveled all the way to NYC thanks to a friend. Pours with no head, as is the norm for a barley wine. The color is a very dark and murky brown, like a tea that has had the bag left in it for a few days. Cannot see through the beer. The smell is very potent, similiar to a fresh Samichlaus. Definite alcohol in the smell, that sweet alcohol aroma. The taste is middle level barley wine. Very bitter finish, with a strong alcoholic sweetness. This is got to be a very alcoholic beer, the bottle does not say but my guess is around 14% because of the similarity to a Samichlaus.

(draught) Deep red - tawny brown. Very slim ring figuring as head. Fruity (plums, grapes), estery, vinous, woody nose. Bitter-sweet-sourish taste, obvious very good balance; also between wood, fruityness (orange, grape/raisins). Ever so slightly oily mouthfeel. Alcohol is evident. This beer tastes as if aged in the wood. Slightly tart, fruity, and full mouthfeel keeps hanging around for a long time afterwards. Definitely a beer more than worth seeking out.
