Put your feet up and contemplate this big, bold, classic US style barley wine. Rich mouthfeel with caramel notes from Maris Otter and crystal malts. Robust bitterness with an apparent yet balanced hop aroma to muse upon.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 9.5%. Hazy reddish brown colour, moderate head, slightly off-white. Aroma of toffee, molasses, caramel / fudge, alcohol, hints of dried figs. Smooth flavour, mainly the same elements as the aroma, but not so much molasses, and not too sweet. Decent bittering hops. Nice to drink.

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Bergen Storsenter. Upper part lacing from a covering white head. Misty amber-orange body. Promising caramel malty aromas, hints of dried fruits. Quite well blended taste of dried fruits, orange, and caramel malts. A welcome piney touch to a long-lived malt-fruity ending. Last nightcap after five happy days in Bergen and Os. (Hotel room, Bergen 13.06.2022).

Can ordered from Ghost Whale, Putney. Aroma citrus and for a marmalade effect. A hint of resin. Opaque amber brown. Fluffy foamy off-white head. Medium-heavy bitter. Boozy. Resinous. Light citrus edge. A real boiled sugary streak. Punchy yet sugary marmalade. Light bodied. Slick. Lazy soft-fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. Yep.
