33 cl bottle from Athens Beer, 6/2/15
It pours a dark orange/slightly Amber color with a creamy tan head and some medium lace. Has a fairly malty aroma, bready, some caramel, and some honey as well. It tastes fairly sweet and much like the aroma. Minimal bitterness. Light-medium bodied. It comes off as slightly watery, with a soft to average carbonation. Okay, but not enough here. Also, not a barley wine.

0,33 bottle courtesy of the Hoppy Imports guys from Thessaloniki/Greece. Grazie. Pours dark Amber clear with a medium-low gassy off-white head which quickly dissipated leaving lacing. Nose: cherry liquor, fresh strawberries, red fruit. Very well hidden 7,5%, refreshing mouth, fruit syrup, jam. A very good Barley wine! Greece on! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle shared at Chriso’s mid-week lasting 03/07/14. Thanks to Leighton. Hazed caramel, murky, pretty bad. Aroma is horribly infected, horse shit, dung, hummering rotting fruit, farts. Flavour is liquorice, dark dung, dirt, earthy. Palate is earthy, dry grainy, sweet and sickly. Fucking terrible.

Süßlich würziger dunkler Malzantrunk. Etwas dumpfer Mittelteil, hier wird die Malzigkeit milder, die Süße verschwindet ganz. Mild vergoren fruchtig, zunehmend herb. Ok. 9/9/8/9/11/9

Craig on Heat Tasting at ChrisO’s. Lightly hazy deep amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Horrendous tangy dung nose. Palate is airy, light and semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Tangy horse crap and vomit. Some tangy dried fruits, well buried. Laughably bad, made me squirm.

Bottle shared at chriso’s - picked up in Athens. Pours clear gold with a light, creamy white head. The aroma suggests that a rather bracing infection has taken hold. A bit or barnyard in the nose, some ripe berries. Light sweet flavor, moderately tangy, some berries, soggy bread. Light to medium bodie with average carbonation. Tangy finish, some further aged fruits, a hit of poo, bread, berries. Meh. Odd at any rate.
