From old notes. From tap at Copenhagen Olfestival 2012. Dark amber copper color with beige head. Malty aroma, caramel, dark fruits, some citrus fruits too. Sweet and light bitter taste like aroma. Medium oily body with soft carbonation

2005 bottle, 14C. Deep brown with an off-white head at the rim. Aroma of stewed fruits, licorice, toffee, sherry, orange peel, marzipan. Not quite still. Full bodied but just short of sticky. Very smooth. Dark fruits and sugars, some orange peel and licorice - maybe some other sweet shop spices too. Slightly boozy with a nice little bitter kick at the end. Presumably some lushness has been and gone, but there’s no cardboard and the finish is very lovely.

660ml Bottle - The front label says it’s 2008 whilst the back label says 2009. Perhaps the brewery worker responsible for labelling had drunk a few of these before working! Dark brown in colour. Leather, dried fruit and aniseed in the aroma. Fruity and slightly sweet taste with notes of raisins, caramel, marzipan and a faint hint of cinnamon. The finish is fruity and slightly sweet and earthy. Overall a tasty barley wine, but I was hoping for a little bit more from this one. Would be interesting to compare it to a ’fresher’ version.

(600ml bottle from 2010) Pours a very murky reddish brown with basically no head at all. Aroma quite sweet, a bit vinous: dark stewed fruit, caramelized brown sugar, lightly roasted, dark rye bread. Flavour extremely sweet, again caramelized brown sugar, stewed plums, fruitcake, sherry-type wine character, light toffee. On the finish, not nearly as bitter as expected, hop flavour has faded and a light bitterness remains. Slight metallic tang, maybe a touch oxidized, fairly light booze for the ABV. Body quite full, a little sticky and a little oily, very little carbonation. Pretty big malt bomb, quite sweet, thankfully the booze is toned with age but so too the hop backbone needed to balance out the sugars. So a good barley wine, but not my favourite.

Bottle split at Jacks a Slapper tasting, thanks to Paulo, 12/05/14. 2008 vintage. Hazed mahogany brown with a limited beige covering. Nose is dark toffee fudge, dark fruit rinds, lgiht smokey bacon vibes, dark malts, caramelised brown sugar. Taste comprises molasses, light bandaid, sherry notes, boozey tones, hint of oxidisation, brown sugar, faint toffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, light booze and a pinch of spice in the close. Decent for the age, light oxidisation has crept in but still a good sipper and probably not at 12% on this night!
