bottle, bought from mikkeller webshop. pours dark brown, nearly no head. One of the darkest barley wine I have ever seen, color is similar to a dark quad. looks mean for a barleywine. sweet malts, sweet almonds in the aroma. almonds almost makes it a bit perfumey. can't really sense barrel or booze in the aroma, but then.. some of what I think is almonds and malts could be whiskey. faint notes similar to a quad, so some extra complexity hidden under the more ordinary barleywine aroma. flavor is very sweet, almonds and roasted malts, also very strong, but does not taste like alc. nice flavor. booze is now very easy to detect and adds character and rounds off the malts, some woody bitterness towards the end. Somehow the almonds doesn't manage to fit in super nicely, they add a sort of weird sweetness i think. Nice barley wine, a bit untaditional both color and almonds, almonds and booze both add sweetness, but not really a sweetness that go well with the sweet malts. cocoa is either fairly well hidden or blends in very well. I didn't notice.
