Gode minner fra min første ordentlige ølrejse til København i mai 2010 (Tap1)! Flaske (batch 311208-64/66), kjøpt på Ølbutikken da den lå i Victoriagade. Drukket på hytta på Nørrebro, og jeg var i ferd med å oppdage ølets gleder på en ny måte. En særdeles informativ etikett: UK Barley Wine, EBC 51,2. BU 72,2. OG/FG 24,25/5,8 Plato. Malts: Pale ale, Mine notater var rubinrød farge med mye skum. Vinøs og fruktig aroma og smak. Massevis av gode smaker, og sterk som bare det, ganske ulikt alt annet jeg hadde smakt til da. And I never looked back.

500 ml bottle, UK style barleywine, vintage 2008, kindly shared by my beerpal Christian. ABV is 10.6%. Beautiful ruby colour, big off-white to beige head. Strong vinous and oaky aroma, notes of dark dried fruits and caramel. Sweet flavour but not extreme, notes of dark dried fruits and oak again, hoppy bitterness in the finish. A good beer from the (now sadly defunct) Danish HaandBryggeriet.

Bottled. Reddish amber colour, not much head. Aroma is sweet malts, some fruits, alcohol and some wood. Flavour is much the same. Extremely sweet though. Strange and not too exciting.

Interesting label with technical details and ingredients
72,2 IBU
Dark brown color; big head, steady. The aroma is light, floury and dusty, a bit sour, wax. Sweet caramel flavor, with the usual Danish dust touch and light sourness; correct bitterness; dusty malts, rather dry ones, in the end. The off-flavors are volatile, but it remains a bit vinous. Flawed. It’s not yet terrible, but I can’t finish the bottle.
