Our American-style Barleywine undergoes a three hour boil to intesify the caramel malts and the enormous Pacific Northwest hop charge. The result is a rich, estery brew with toffee notes and citrus hop flavors layered throughout. Enjoy this brew fresh today or lay it down for aging to see how the flavors of each vintage evolve.

(Bottle, 0.65 l - 2010 vintage, at William K Kurvi, 20120616) The beer poured deep reddish brown and cloudy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had malts, aisin, dried plum, fruitiness and hops. Palate was full bodied, warming and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, raisin, hops, dried plum, alcohol, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty, boozy and bitter. The alcohol pushed throught too much and the hops didn’t taste so good anymore: 7-3-7-3-13=3.3
Old rating: (Bottle, 2008 vintage, at Pikkulintu on 2008-06-04) Deep amber colour. Slightly brown small head. Clear. Lots of hops and some malts in nose. Dry and full palate. Salty liquorice and hops in taste. Very full bodied and still bitter. Would improve when aged. 7-4-8-3-14=3.6

Hazy brown coloured body with a huge tan head that lasts and lasts. Aroma of fresh malt, a bit of hops, straight sugar, toffee and a ton of yeast and tiny bit of spice. Full-bodied; Strong malty flavours roaming up front with a good sweetness following soon afterwards. Aftertaste shows some alcohol, toffee, potent nuts and a tiny bit of spice - mostly the sugars come through though. Overall, a potent and strong Barleywine that is pretty good. My only bad thing to say about this is - stop putting Barley Wine styled beers in 65 cL containers! I sampled this 65 cL (entirely too big) bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia during the summer of 2007 on 26-May-2008 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Nutty orange aroma with walnuts and hazelnuts. Opaque brown with a medium peach colored head. Fairly thick mouthfeel with walnut, licorice, wood, and candy notes. Very piney finish. There are nice flavors, but they aren’t good together.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours slight cloudy and dark orange/amber with a lacing off-white and creamy head. Aroma is solid hops and malt, light alcohol note. Flavour is quite hoppy, light woody and with a mild liqourice like note. Warming alcohol finish with a solid hops bitterness yet with a persisting hops oily flavour. Solid barleywine that is a nice blend between IIPA and barley wine.7-4-7-4-15=3.7

Mossy coloured, dense head; dark amber-brown beer. Caramel, toffee with a lot of C-hops, and some bananaester. Chocolate, roasted and bits of hopbitterness, some background sweetness, caramelly. Very well-bodied, slick. Not uninteresting but I’ve had better BW’s; maybe lacking a bit of complexity.

Bottle bought@vinens_verden,Odense. Pours amber with a lovely red hew & a creamy lasting white head & lacings. Aroma & taste is deep malty & hoppy - sweet caramel, sugar & dark fruits such as plum & raisins. Wamth from alcohol. Filling texture. Low carbonation & a velvet like mouthfeel - very soft. Quite sticky. Power lasting hoppy finish! Very sippable!

2008 vintage. Cloudy brown amber with a lasting beautiful ivory off-white head. Classic caramel malty, dried fruit barleywine aroma, with a lemon hop note blended in. Flavour is all-out hoppy bitter - completely killing the malt which seems like it’s very rich and good underneath. Maybe it’s better in two years?
