This 9% barley wine will hit you with caramel, toffee, pineapple and pomegranate, while intentionally packing the flavours of Muscat, with the full and sweet texture of a barley wine. Toasted oak notes and a smooth mouthfeel add to the effect.

Bottle (from Alko). Amber colour, small off white head. Aroma is apple jam, some maple syrup, a bit toffee, alcohol and some slight wine like elements. Flavour is toffee, some caramel, mild alcohol, peach, a bit dates and nutty tones with a bit off wood to it as well. Scaringly drinkable for it's abv.

Semmi hab, vörös szín. Karamelles, gabonás, enyhén boros illat. Gabonás, karamelles, fehérboros ízek, jelzés értékű fahordós aromákkal. Testes, enyhén szénsavas, alig keserű. Jól eltalált barley wine alap, amit kiválóan kiegészítenek a muscat hordóchipstől kapott aromák.

0,33 bottle. Light maroon color, head with small holes, a fingerful of cream when filled. The aroma of malt can be felt during brewing, next to it a little cognac, raisins and sweet. Very serious, full-bodied beer with a slightly musty, barrel, wine aftertaste. As you progress through the bottle, tiny grapes, wine fruitiness can be felt as well as hard alcohol degrees. Of that, a 0.33 is really enough, though not bad, for a real dessert beer.

Világos gesztenyebarna szín, habja apró lyukú, kitöltéskor egy ujjnyi, krémszínű. Ale főzéskor érezhető maláta illat, mellette kis konyakos, mazsolás, édes. Nagyon komoly, testes sör, kicsit dohos, hordós, boros mellékízzel. Ahogy halad előre az üveg, pici szőlős, boros gyümölcsösség is érződik, valamint a kemény alkohol fok. Ebből egy 0,33-as tényleg elég, bár nem rossz, igazi desszert sör.

330ml bottle. Almost clear amber with a beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, bubblegum, caramel, wine. Taste is sweet, bubblegum, caramel, orange, apple, marzipan, dried fruits, oaky and surprisingly wine-like (as in actual wine) in the finish. Medium body. Not bad but the bubblegum taste is a bit weird.

33 cl bottle at Polar, Madrid. It pours dark amber with an off-white head. Aroma is quite intense: honey, molasses, chestnut. Mouthfeel is soft and oily. Taste is pungent and metallic. Long-lingering finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, dark amber with a lacing, off-white head. Intense burned caramel nose, toffee and cream. Rich, sweet body - again loads of caramel. I find the booze to be a little sharp with the body being too small to sustain it. It would love this to age and mellow for a few years. I'm sure it would suit the beer. 191118
