Tap at Popeye. 2010 version. Clear amber colour, not much head. Aroma is fruity, steeped berries, spicy caramel if that makes any sense, popcorn. Taste is lovely, soft and bit sweet, hint of booze, but not in your face, toffee apple, Caramel. Dangerously drinkable for the strength. Hides the alcohol very well. Very much enjoying these Japanese Barley Wines at the moment. Lovely!

Keyaki fall 2016. Malty nose with honey and caramel and some alcohol on the nose. Syrupy body, more sweetness with some bitterness that kicks in mid-palate to finish. Well-balanced. Maybe a tad young, but I’m not a big barley wine fan anyway. Decent I guess. --- Beer merged from original tick of Nine-Tailed Fox Barleywine on 18 Sep 2016 at 23:39 - Score: 7

On Tap at Oedo Beer Festival in Kanda, 2015 version, from a super small, 5 litre steel keg. Pours nice amberish golden, small head. Looking beautiful and fresh. Aroma is sweetish, some honey, malt character and also some herbal bitterness. First sip reveals some sweetness, herbal bitter flavour intensifies a bit but is still balanced with the strong and sticky body. Nice, but definitely too young - this beer would taste terrific after a few years of ageing. I even feel a bit guilty to drink it in this not-prime condition as the flavours are still edgy, somewhat green and still need more time to come together.

Bottle, 75cl ceramic. Vintage 2009 it seems. 12% ABV. It pours an almost clear orange-golden body and no head. Quite oily. The aroma has some fruityness, and lots of malty sugar and some peaches and other tropical fruits. There’s some warmth on the palate, it’s full-bodied and a bit sticky, but far from cloying. The flavor has lots of malts, some sugar and a little touch of peaches, finishing more or less in the same way. A nice one, but it lacks on complexity and it could use some more bitterness.. 121110
