Bottle. Pours amber with medium off white head that lasts. The aroma is pine, dark fruit, cardboard, booze. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, boozy, good.

12 oz bottle from Tavour. Deep mahogany pour witb one finger foamy beige head. Malty aroma, some boizy notes. Taste gets sweet fast, malts, fruitcake, raisins. Alcohol heat is there from the get-go and stays through to the finish. Mildly swet and lots of heat.

750 ml bottle thanks to Chalumeaux, much thanks. Bottled in 2014. Amber in color, no head. Aroma is really nice. Toasted brown sugar, malted barely, English toffee, dark fruits.
The flavor is very smooth, dark fruit is deep. Layers of deep dark fruits. The 10 plus percent ABV is nicely hidden with the typical barely wine characteristics. Mouthfeel is sticky and oily in a medium or more mouthfeel. Actually pretty damn nice. Enjoyable

Bottled 10.13.2014 drunk 2/20/16.
Beige head fades to cover. Clear amber-auburn.
Very fruity with light alcohol mixing with it. Crystal malts and berries. Seems like an imperial amber ale. Not boozey.
Bitter and phenolic in the mouth with orange rind and tons of caramel-vanilla. Quite malty but not cloying. Lots of iced tea like notes from the c malts and tons of raspberry and apple esters. Low but tight carbonation. Very soft, supple malty texture. Not boozey. Very rich and a bit much for me but these guys develop great flavors. Less boozey than the quad which is surprising.

75CL , thanks TJ for sharing.
A - Red maroon color and brown hues.
S - Loads of hop bitterness on the aroma, caramel, brown sugar
T - Loads of bitterness, could probably be aged a bit better. Very sweet, a little metallic with a long lasting sweetness. Solid graham cracker malt backbone.
M - Nice creamy taste
O - Good barley wine but insanely sweet. Can’t believe this is 13%.

12 ounce bottle - pours a clear medium ruby, minimal head/lace - not as Americanized as I was expecting in that it is not a major hop bomb/imperial IPA in disguise - the malts are certainly center-stage here - notes of caramel, toffee, sherry, whiskey - moderate hop spiciness followed by an alcohol warmth - for the abv, the alcohol is masked fairly well, especially considering this is a little lighter in character than same other examples of the style - it’s good, but not great.
