Аромат отличный, но сразу становится понятно что оно не в стиле, но при этом очень вкусно. Есть прежде всего много сухофрутов, затем немного специй, намека на мед и грушу, карамелкьа и темный фрукты, солода много да, но он не не барлик а как будто эль из Бельгии. Цвет темно карамельный, пенка маленькая. Вкус отличный. Снова много сухофруктов, включая курагу. Снова легкие специи и темные фрукты как от эля Бельгийское, немного карамели, есть меда немного. При глотке характер крепости. Послевкусие снова с сухофруками. В целом отлично, но конечно не в стиле правда.

Draft in a bottle from lowcostbeer. Pours brown with moderate sized beige head which leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma of nuts, dark chocolate, toffee, orange zest, blackcurrant. Taste of marmalade, sticky toffee pudding, honey, orange zest, nuts, bitter finish, Alcohol warmth on way down but does not effect the taste. Full bodied, and somewhere between creamy and sticky. Quality sipping beer, extremely flavoursome.

--Canned, from Systembolaget. Clear ruby, small head. Aroma of dextrose, rose water, figs and caramel. Sweet with full body and oily mouthfeel. Winegums, rose water, caramel, pears and brandy. Intensely warming finish. Interesting, but fiercely alcoholic. Superficial for a barley wine, but definitely worthwhile.
