tap at beer festival
thick, sweet, not much of a difference from the critical mass. NIce effort.

200 ml bottle from Garthicus. Nose of honeycomb, the sweetness of candi sugar, and some light apple notes. Clear rust with a very few bubbles. Flavor is sweet honey with some golden raisins, and actually only a tiny bit of alcohol. finish slightly sweet honey! Duh! another mead, maybe! Pretty decent if it’s a mead. Pretty poor Barleywine!

A reddish amber ale with almost no head, light carbonatation. Aroma of warming alcohol and light sulfites, with berry notes developping upon stirring. In mouth, it does have some redeeming qualities, as this is not totally lifeless, the alcohol brings some interest to the mouth, and there are some interesting licorice developping, but this is very confused, rough, amateurish. Bottle from ProbstK, Oct. 2006.
