Bottle. Pours an orange golden, with an almost unnoticeable head. Aroma is sweet malty, with notes of dried fruits.Body is oily, and the flavour is rather complex. A subtle and grassy mellow fruitiness at first, giving way to darker, heavier vinous sweetness.

Hazy orange-copper color; almost no head, just a collar of foam. Mild malt and toffee aroma. Reasonable body strength; powerful toffee flavor, with just some residual sugars, a tad less than expected in a true Barley Wine, and strong bitterness. No discernable hop qualities. The final is toffee again, getting a bit sweeter. Pleasant, quite close to an English Barley Wine.

0.33l bottle @ Henrik, Bergen. Why have I never heard of this? This pours a cloudy unfiltered orange body with a thin off-white head quickly laying a film in the glass. Aroma is sweet, mild malts, wet hay, not to extreme but more subtle and relaxed. Thick and full-bodied, oily texture and softly carbonated. nice and quite bitter flavors. You definitely can sense the alcohol. There's lots of malts, light almost vinous and woody notes also. Nice label. A bit hard to understand, but nice label.

Bottle, at Patricks. It pours a hazy, orange body topped by a minimal sized off-white head. There’s a nice malty sweetish-ness in the aroma, a whiff of alcohol too, but it’s the citrus peel and resins that do the heavy work. The flavor is pretty much the same, a base of sweetish pale malts where the resiny, citrus-peel tasting hops can do their job. Nice bitterness all the way. Full-bodied and with a certain warmth. A beer to sip slowly, or get you drunk really fast if you have a few of them. The sipping is the recommended way of drinking it, that way it’s really pleasant. 100213
