330ml Bottle (2013 vintage) - Murky brown in colour with a small head. Leather, raisins and caramel in the aroma. Fruity and malty taste with raisins, sultanas, toffee and some slightly nutty and vinous notes in the finish. Not as warming as some barley wines and quite easy to drink as a result.

Small offwhite head. Hazy deep dark red body. Earthy chocolatey aroma with sherry and red berry notes. Dry-sweet earthy linoleum and fruit taste with salty notes. Mid-bodied. Hot mouthfeel. Dryish roasty earthy wild berry aftertaste with papery sherry notes. Interesting, but lacking in flavour and bitterness. (0.33l bottle at Micro Bar, Reykjavik.)

Bottle from Micro Bar, Reykjavik; best before 2020
Dark brown color, impenetrable, cloudy. Nice malty aroma, true to a Barley Wine, and with dark accents; also, some nice smell of hop bag. Good body strength, with moderate sweetness; malt and caramel flavor, but also a stale feeling and a bit too much dark malts; strong bitterness, with a dusty impression.
Not very refined.

Mycket rik doft av torkade frukter.. Nästan överstyr i doften mot starkvin., smakar förvånansvärt balanserat utan sötma å med rik mycket rik torr smak av torkade dadlar å persikor. Bra Barely Wine. Reykjavik
