330 ml bottle. Pours a chestnut color with light head and a lot of suspended sediment. Aromas of caramel, candi sugar, raisins and toasted malts. Flavors follow same. Sweet. Seems more like a quad than an English or American barley wine. Fairly good but the suspended stuff ruins the enjoyment .

The last tasting from an order at a Belgium retailer, I wanted it to be this 33 cl bottle of barley wine. Bottle is opened and I pour into a Delirium snifter. A dark caramel colored liquid with a modest skim of silvery tan foam. The smell is traditional and likewise good. I get ripe dark fruit, grain and cane syrup. I take a drink and will say this beer reminds me of as much a dark Belgian ale as a barley wine. I don't mind, I like that style as I like a good barley wine. Dark plums, dark biscuits, raisins, a curious small sour presence, a toffee sweetness, malt and some wood. A decent beer, better than anticipated.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. Brown with a light beige head. Malty caramel aroma with a little roast as well. Sweet taste with a sweet low bitter finish. Deceptively simple at first but develops with every sip.

Bruin bier met schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak is zoet met iets van pruimen, wat rozijnen en wat rode wijn. Wordt na een paar slokken eigenlijk steeds beter.

Light haze on this deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, decent cream and caramel and a touch of toffee. Crisp pine. Crisp ripe fruits on the back end, tastes pretty bourbon barrelled. Crisp finish. Nice. Vivien always strike me a brewery that produces clean beers and this Barleywine is no exception. Tastes BBA though...
