Thanks for sharing tlahav! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ In De Wildeman during Carnivale Brettanomyces #4. Dark amber, caramel, little tanned head. Nose is big pine resin, caramel, syrupy, grapefruit,… Taste is cereal, touch odd strawberry, syrupy, sugar, candy, syrup with bitter pine resin,… Creamy malt. Hoppy Barley Wines don’t work entirely well for me usually, not all components work in unison for me here but this isn’t bad for sure.

330 ml bottle into snifter, bottled on 10/24/2014. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, raisin, plum, apple, caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops, dark/bready malt, and fruity yeast notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, raisin, plum, apple, caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Fair amount of herbal/piney bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange peel, light pine, raisin, plum, apple, caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops, dark/bready malt, and fruity yeast flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy, and lightly slick/sticky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an awesome English barleywine style. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops, dark/bready malt, and fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the big ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at laiti’s, 20150613, thanks) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had a lot of malts and molasses. Palate was full bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, molasses, sweetness, grass, earth and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, sweet and bitter. A pleasant malty strong brew. I think this one would age nicely, too.

Pours dark orange with a small head. Aroma of caramely malts, toffee, grass, grapefruit and citrus. Taste is sweet, syrupy and sticky with some hops, grass and citrus. Finish is heavy, sweet and malty with some syrup and grass. Okay, quite heavy.

33 cl bottle @ home. Bottled 29.10.2014, BBE 29.10.2017
Aroma has buttery tones, toffee and some English malty notes. Flavour has toffee candy, some mineral-grapefruity hops, butterscotch, ripe fruits and toffee. Finishes with lingering grassy hops. Quite pleasant actually, I like the toffee candy here.
