0,33 litre Bottle, from Only Good Beer, Budapest, Hungary. Reddish amber with offwhite head. Malts, hops, yeast, Caramel, sweetness, some herbal bitterness.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, redd-ish, amber colour with average to huge, thick, dense, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, immensely lacing, sulphureous, off-white head. Mild and somewhat cautious, pale and caramel malty aroma with a touch of almond, marzipan, fruity hoppy hints of red berries, floral hoppy overtones. Taste is initially mellow malty and fruity hoppy, hints of marzipan, a touch of honey, nougat (Türkischer Honig), notes of red berries, red currant, increasing hop bitterness, dankness, resin and orange peel come in, a floral hoppy touch as well. Slightly oily texture, smooth and soft, slightly greasy, simultaneously minimally dry palate, fine, soft carbonation. Well crafted, immense and refined at once; technically a sipper, practically moreish - excellent!

0,33 bottle. Díszdobozos szépség. Gyönyörű szín. Gesztenyebarna-borostyán keverék. Hatalmas sárgásfehér tömör nagyon szép hab. Tényleg fantasztikus, aszalt-gyümölcsös, mazsolás, édeskés maláta alapú illat, amin a komlók még dobnak! Bődületesen testes! Nagyon komoly! Szenzációs, selymes, konyakos, mazsolás, gyengén szénsavas. Sorolhatnám az ízeket, mert van mit. Sokféle aszalt gyümölcs. Rendkívül komplex, száj-összeragasztó. A 11%-hoz képest még az alkoholt is eldugták, de azért érezni. VIlág színvonalú Barley Wine! Csak tessék-csak tessék - a Nagy Houdini maradandó emléke!!! Gratulálok! A stílus - és a hasonló sörök - kedvelőjeként nem tudok kevesebb pontot adni! Ez az üveg másfél éves palackozás volt, azt gondolom be fogok még szerezni, hogy még érleltebben is kóstolhassam!

A gift-box beauty. Beautiful color. Maroon-amber mixture. Huge yellowish-white solid very nice, durable head. Really fantastic, dried-fruity, raisin, sweet malt based scent on which the hops are still throwing! Absolutely full-bodied! Very serious! Sensational, silky, cognac, raisins, weakly carbonated. I could list the flavors because there is what. Many kinds of dried fruits. Extremely complex, mouth-adhesive. Compared to 11%, even alcohol was hidden, but still felt. World class Barley Wine! Just do it — just do it - a lasting memory of the Great Houdini !!! Congratulations! As a fan of style - and similar beers - I can’t give you fewer points! This bottle was a year and a half bottling, I think I will get it even more so I can taste it even more mature!

clear reddish amber colour, medium sized creamy beige-ish head; aroma of dried dates and figs soaked into alcohol, caramel, pine resiny and some orange-orange peel notes; perfectly balanced bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; great barley wine! Thank you so much, kapusil!

O.33l bottle. Clear copper body with a pearl head. Huge caramel and dates notes in the aroma with some toast, grass and a bit of citruses. There is a hint of peach jam too. Taste of caramel, figs, dates, pine, grass and some citruses. Complex beer for sure. Interesting that the aroma is closer to a British strong ale but the taste is definitely the American style. The body is thick with a syrupy texture. The only drawback is that my wife seems to like it as much as I do which is a threat to my stash. Very well done, wow.
