Dark amber color, with large creamy head. Mild aroma of caramel and puke, light vegetables. Correct body strength; it has a strange flavor of caramel and in the beginning also too much vegetables and iron, that later reduces a bit; there is a component similar to liquorice; the bitterness too is out of tune.
A mess; unpleasant.

Bottled:
Pours clear brown with a thick, almost creamy head. Aroma is all about malt; toffee and caramel. Flavour is also all about malt; toffee, caramel and a little bit of licorice. Alcohol bitter finish. A very basic Barley Wine.

Bottle from Systembolaget, August 2012. Amber with a medium white head. Both the aroma and taste was mostly about malt and toffee. Also notes of alcohol, cookies and some grass. Drinkable but sweet and unbalanced.

Bomber bought @ Systembolaget. Pours tiny hazy deep golden with a frothy and tiny creamy offwhite head that slowly dissipates while leaving some thick lacing on the glass. Smell is tiny sweet and herbal with caramel, butterscotch, lemon zest, slightly dry grass, cereal, alcohol, persimmon and plums. Taste is sweet and bitter with grass, straw, butterscotch, orange peal, persimmon and plums. Mouthfeel is astringent, tiny oily bitter and medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and bitter with caramel, orange peal, straw, persimmon, plums and butterscotch. I’m sorry but this is terrible...
