355ml bottle. The beer starts a bit sticky. Deep with an intense fresh fruity layer below. Dry sugars, hints of roast, smooth and mild. Low bitterness with caramelly hints. Sugary sweetish without being too sticky. Very nice and round.

Min sista flaska från nu mera nedlagda butiken Barley Wine i Köpenhamn. 2009 vintage. Mer abt än bw i min bok. Trevligt madeiriserad och komplex smakbild men fortfarande med rejäl kraft och alkoholvärme. Torkad frukt, kola, fudge, sötlakrits, madeira, rom russin, lite läder, vanilj. Riktigt gott.

0.355 l bottle from ’Rudat’ at 10.1% abv, bottled in November 2012 (almost four years old). Clear, deep reddish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish, malty and slightly fruity aroma of toffee, treacle, raisins, prunes and vanilla. Rather sweet, malty and a bit fruity taste of toffee, vanilla, treacle, raisins, orange peel, cinnamon and prunes, followed by a medium long, rather bitter, quite warming and a bit alcoholic finish. Full body, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really nice sipper, held up fantastically. Not overly complex or sophisticated, but quite intense and with a lovely mouthfeel.

En boca buen cuerpo y bien de gas.sabor magnifico, de cierto tono licórico, con recuerdo a cointreau, por las notas de naranja. Acaramelada, malteada en la base. Muy cremosa, muy sabrosa. Excelente.
