Another European Barley wine that has forgotten it is a beer. Black current, cherry and plums with some caramel and sourness, which would be fine if they had also added some discernible malt and hops.

Aroma of malts, very ripe fruits, apricot, dried apples, sour grapes, brown sugar, alcohol. Flavour is ripe fruity and malty sweetness, it’s a thick sweetness. Noticeably boozy. Has a somewhat dry finish. Potent stuff, definitely a slow sipper.

Golden colour with lasting thin head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of wine yeast. Musty. Very sweet. Lots of sultanas. Honey and barley too. Initially no obvious alcohol but it kicks in eventually.

On tap at Mikkeller, Århus. An almost clear one, golden-orange in color, with a thin layer of white bubbles. Turpentine, greens, alcohol, bready malts, cellar, pine cones, vegetables, celery, white sugar, grass and notes of hay and vegetable soup in the aroma. It's warming and full bodied, very softly carbonated, with a mostly sweet flavor. Complex flavor too, too alcoholic I think, and too vegetal, but at least interesting. Sort of candy-ish finish. Nice-ish, but 10cl is enough. 231109

(Draught at Mikkeller Södermalm, Stockholm, 31 Mar 2023) Hazy golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of peaches, dried fruit and citrus. Fruity, vinous nose with citrus, peaches, tropical fruit and a sweetish finish with a warming alcohol glow and a balanced spicy bitterness. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Warming and powerful, still quite well balanced and more drinkable than the ABV would suggest. Very nice.
