Barley wines are traditionally hefty brews, but ours is downright excessive. The huge maltiness of this beer is only tamed by an equally prodigious addition of hops, creating a rich, slightly sweet, caramel-hued ale infused with assertive bitterness and bright hop notes, all culminating in a pleasing dryness. While it will evolve into an even more glorious brew with age, this beer's delicious onslaught of flavors will seriously challenge your ability to wait any longer to drink it.

Bottle shared @ jbrus’s place. Aroma has mango, pineapple, red berries and citrus. Malty flavor with loads of earthy hops. Hints of pineapple and mango. A considerable dry out effect. The balance is lacking a bit.

Flaska från SB, vintage 2014. Klar bärnstensfärgad med smutsvit/beige krona. Apelsinmarmelad/kanderade apelsinskal, kola, karamell, ljus maltsötma, ljunghonung. Beska från grape, granskott och kåda. Beskan är kvar, men humlet känns ganska trött här. Tveksam på att denna egentligen tjänar på lagring - utan den stora beskan blir det lite platt. Skulle behövas en lite mer kaxig maltighet för att bära upp över tid.
