Flaska från SB, årgång 2016. Mörkguldig med beige krona. Torkad frukt, plommon, aprikos, något ljusare maltsötma. Kanske lite svårt att helt urskilja smakerna, och lite osäker åt vilket håll denna ska. Helt ok.

Clear amber-ish color wit a fine off white head. Looks good. Fine intensity in the aroma. A quite fine and pleasant sweetness in this one. Well balanced. Oily texture. Dried fruits are quite dominating in the flavor. Also toffee and some spiced notes. Well masked alcohol.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Clear amber, small head.Rich aroma of rasins, madeira and bread. Really sweet with full body and soft mouthfeel, low carbonation. Relaxed, deep madeira-like malt character. Unexpected notes of mustard seeds, some syrup and bread. Mild warming finish. A rich, deep, malty barleywine I am sure will age well. Already a great sipper.

Bottle. (thanks Jonas) A bit hazy dark golden with a minimal head. Aroma of alcohol, some dried fruit and toffee. Similar taste. Very sweet and with too much alcohol. Not impressed by this one.
