Our English style barleywine - rich, malty, and opulent. Great at time of release but will benefit from bottle aging for many years to come. VINTAGE DATED.

Bottle. (10% ABV) A clear, copper body topped by an off-white head. Malty and fruity nose with lots of resiny hops and a good dash of beef-stock. The flavor is as expected malty, fruity and bitter, with some chocolate added. Quite heavy flavor actually with the alcohol well hidden. Full-bodied and sweet in the mouth, and some apples in the finish, along with the beef-stocky malt and resiny hops. And of course, bitterness. A really nice, heavy beer. (080620)

12oz bottle thanks to Acknud for this one. Pours out a clear brown topped with almost no head. A nice aroma of sweet pit fruit and light hop. Tast of light malt more of that pit fruit and a touch of hops. Not to bad.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of markgugs. Vintage 2006. Clear amber golden with a small, off-white head. The nose is full of overripe fruit and some aroma hops. Solid body with plenty of caramel, overripe fruit and a little vanilla. Warming alcoholic finish - yet rather soft. 290308

Chestnut colour with a lasting off-white head. Sweet and intense aroma, of dried fruits and malt. Sweet and malty flavour somewhat vineous. Pleasant but simple barley wine.

A dark orange amber ale with a thick light moka head. Aroma is musty and sweet, with light vinous notes, a bit understated. In mouth, a good caramel malt, oily, yet raspy from the British hops, with strong almost gin like alcohol, a bit unbalanced for the style, not enough malt to balance the alcohol. Bottle from Party Source Syracuse, summer 2007.

Nice looking pour with a crystal clear amber color and thin off white head. Healthy aroma of caramel, dark fruit candy and hints of alcohol. The flavor is just like the aroma with plum, date and cherry flavored hard candy. Beyond that are mild caramelized malts and caramel candy flavors. Near the end there seems to be a faint toffee note. This could probably use a bit more age.
