Cloudy amber with an off-white head. Fruit aromas, melon, dried fruits. Sweet flavour with an elegant port-like alcohol, and a big hops explosion.

Muddy, no head. Big ass malt nose. Chewy, with light candyish notes. Very sweet with hints of candy and earth. Fairly yeasty, too. A bit aimless.

2013-11-19, draught at Mikkeller and Friends, Copenhagen, 8-5-9-5-18=45
Muddy dark amber color with creamy beige head. It has that naive aroma of the old times, hoppy, smelly, cheesy, grassy, sweaty; a bit homebrew, but it’s nice and expected. Full bodied, well carbonated, smooth; it has a smash-in-the-face pure just extracted malt sweetness; very strong bitterness, which is in balance with the rest; the alcohol doesn’t even feel as if it’s up there; it has a fruity character too somehow, and an impression of nuts.
A Barley Wine as I want it (apart from the Thomas Hardy’s style which is another thing). Thanks Mikkel for reviving this one!

Nice amber color, just hazy even after shaking the bottle a lot; flat. Nice aroma, malty, mild compared to what it used to be. Strong body, very sweet malt flavor but not syrupy or sticky, thanks to the alcohol content too; there is sweet caramel and a nice sweet nutty side; it has a strong bitterness, the hop is well balanced, not much aromatic but still quite resinly and oily, with traces of Alpine herbs (and digestive liquors). The alcohol warms the mouth but it’s not burning at all. Still very good.

Cloudy amber color. Aroma of green hops, light fudge, fruity. Oily mouthfeel, sweet flavor, extremely hopped, fruity, light resins, almost no alcohol perception, fruity freshness. The Porto wine of beers. Incredibly dangerous. What a beer guys!

Bottled at Cph Beerfestival. Hazy, deep copper-colored beer with no carbonation and no head. Lots of hops and pinecones in the nose, as well as some alcohol and citrus. Very sweet flavor, that doesn’t feel sticky in the mouth. Full bodied and with some light citrus flavors as well. It ends with a stinging bitterness. Interesting, but too sweet. Could go as a night cap, though. (060519)

Very aromatic hoppy aroma, getting slightly sour. Cloudy, bright orange/brown colour. Very small head. Syrupy mouthfeel. Very aroma hopped, piney, flowery. Does not taste as is it is as strong as 15%. But on the brink of getting too much.
