Bottle 65 cl. Pours a cloudy, reddish brown with a small, beige head. Nose is a little mousy and nutty. Not overly rich in body, fairly dry and very hoppy, with a solid late bitterness. Not the most complex Barley Wine and a bit rough on the bitterness. 120816

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus, Joes and Ansjelaah. Nice dark red color, average to medium sized off-white to beige head. Aroma is malts, sweetish, hops, resinous hops. Taste malts, hops, slightly leaves and iron, overripe bitter fruits, heavy bitter fruits. Good body and carbonation. Yeah I like it!

Bomber shared by Marcus. Pours coppery brown with a bege head. Aroma is brown sugar with suggestions of burnt cookies and maybe rye. Flavor sort of like that with a little chocolate. Heat is noticeable. Has some bitter that might be hoppy. Far from the typical sticky sweet. A little different, but good.

Bottle 22 oz. (0.65 l). Mahogany color with beige foam. Pleasant aroma: malt honey, a little smoke, dried plums, dried fruit, raisins, caramel, toffee, vanilla, port and alcohol. Taste multi-layered: sweetness of nectar, raisins, dried figs and toffee, alcoholic (bourbon?), hop bitterness. Unbalanced bittersweet, but interesting beer.
