A very dark brown, a small head is dark beige. Aroma is rich with dark riped druits, dates and raisins, some port wine, toffee, drier wood and herbs, hint of vanilla. Very complex and succesfully aroma. Taste has rich and toffeeish maltyness, riped fruits and dates, balancing dry wood and herbs with bitterness, hint of vanilla. Full bodied, low carbonation, fresh anyway. Rich and complex, tasteful. The beer for slow enjoyment.

(Bottle @ VilleValla Pub, Linköping, Dec 15 2014 as Olde Ale MMXIV) Pours bright red brown, small whitish ring of head. Aroma is like English barley wine lite. Toffee, caramel, brown sugar, dried fruits (apricot, berries, prune), partly raisinated brandy grape notes. Flavour follows nose, with the initial malt and fruit sweetness fading into a nice brandy type middle with grape and spirit notes, a bit of an earthy, softly woody character, and then finally dried by alcohol to make a smooth finish with no real hop bitterness or residual alcohol heat. Medium full body, moderate carb. Very elegant old ale, nice fruity cognac-ish quality with no spirit harshness, though lacking the concentrated flavours of an excellent barley wine. Still really easy to drink and decently complex.
