21.05.2014, 0,375l bottle (bottled 02.07.2008) @ BBGTC tasting:
No head, just some bubbles. Aroma is slightly sweet, well oxidized, caramel malts, grass, burnt caramel, butterscotch, alcohol, dried dark fruits, chocolate, thinner. Taste is sweet, sugar, caramel malts, grass, alcohol, burnt caramel, dried fruits, old hops, butterscotch. Medium bitterness, slightly dry and watery mouthfeel. Fair enough, but not bad for being almost 6 years old.

Bottle. Simple American hoppy aroma, not much more, but nice. Clear amber-brown colour. Taste is strongly honeyish caramelly sweet. Rich grape fruitiness. Bitterness appears in the finish. Very good.

Botella de 37.5 cl tomada varias veces durante el invierno de 2011 - 2012 en pacos. Alucinante Barley wine, hasta ese momento y creo que hasta hoy en día la mejor que he tomado. Una cerveza imprescindible repetir lo antes posible para ver sí ha habido algún cambio en el paladar Color marrón con toques cobrizos muy oscuro. Cuerpo medio - alto con un volumen de alcohol de 12 vol perfecto que realza todo el conjunto, aumentando la sensación alcohólica cada vez más a medida que va calentando. Final con regusto bastante amargo para ser una Barley wine. Muy buena, muy buena. Alucinante.

reddish mahogany colour, moderate creamy beige head; aroma of caramel,biscuit, some citrus, liqueur and earthy notes; taste of caramel, candy sugar, herbal liqueur, dried berries yeast and (based on the intensive sweetness) surprising bitter aftertaste;12% ABV is fully hidden; excellent barley wine

Bottle at Dean’s night before the night tasting, Den Haag courtesy of Zer0. Poured a light amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is grassy fruity hop with Belgian yeast. The flavour is medium to heavy sweet with a sticky boozy alcohol palate. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation.
