Wow, this was a sickly sweet syrupy mess. Loads of sweet, saccrine, grainy malts. No hops tombe found except for the copious amounts of astringent bitterness in the finish. I really did not enjoy this.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is ripe fruits with a welcome touch of hops, malt, caramel, toffee, berries, some mild syrup. Flavour is pretty sweet with a solid hoppy bitterness. Body is medium to full. Nice Barley Wine, ripe fruits rather than dried fruits with a touch of hops and appropriate caramel malts.

Bottle. Amber pour. Aroma of sticky caramelised malt, raisin, bitter pine, baked orange and grapefruit. Taste has sticky raisin, caramelised malt, bitter piney hop, orange, port-like ripened malt and a little yeast. Nice old school bitter barley wine, some age did it well I think.

Vintage 2012. 12 oz. bottle, pours a murky dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out caramel, bready toffee, and subdued resinous hops. Flavour is very malty and somewhat boozy, with bready toffee, caramel, some dark fruits, and subdued hops. Very malty and fruity, very old school. Pretty solid, but unremarkable, old barley wine.

Amber, with a little bit of haze. There's actually a fair bit of jammy fruit, and some piney hops. Tastes a bit old, maybe a bit flat. Touch of jammy notes, a bit harsh but maybe the bitterness has mellowed. Not great, old school, aged okay but just okay.

Off white head left a spotty cover on a reddish brown still body. Stewed fruit, caramel, malt & raisin aroma. Medium to full bodied, oily in the osgate with a tingly back. Malt, demerara, raisin, berry, orange & caramel tastes.

Bottle sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Dark brown colour with reddish tinge, bubbly beige foam head and aroma of malt, molasses, raisins, dried fruits. Taste is sweet, malty, brown sugar, toffee, caramel, dried fruits, raisins, some orangey notes and earthy bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi-dry grassy boozy bitter finish with lingering sweetness. Very drinkable.

1/6/2019. Bottle from Worldwide Alcohol, Chelmsford, shared at the Krsko GP beer share. Pours pale brown with a small off-white to beige head. Aroma of toffee, treacle, molasses, chocolate, moderate roasted malt, fruit and biscuit. Medium plus sweetness, moderate bitterness. Full body, sticky texture, average to soft carbonation. Deliciously rich aroma, very drinkable.
