AIH205. Deep amber colour, small off-white ead. Aroma is wooden, caramelly, floral and some mild toffee tones. Flavour is sweet malts, some toasted tones with mild wooden as well. Quite typical Winter lager a'la Nordic countries.

As "Julepils (5,5%)". Dark ruby colour, small beige head.Toasted caramalty aroma. Light-bodied. Malty backbone, caramalty, lowish bitterness. Clean palate. Nothing to do with a Pils. It's a normal "Dark Scandinavian Xmas Lager".

On tap at Valhalla Beer Club, pours a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma has some oxidized hops, some Belgian yeast, and straw. Flavour doesn’t suggest this is in good shape, with oxidized, cardboardy hops, some Belgian yeast, and a touch of candi sugar. Seems a bit off.

On tap at Valhalla Beer Club, pours a hazy dark amber brown with a small off-pink head. Aroma has a nice oaky character, along with dry tart red fruits, and a touch of Worcestershire. Flavour follows as is, with plenty of tart dark fruits, booze, plenty of bone dry oak, and a touch of balsamic/Worcestershire. Really nicely constructed, very low acidity on the finish. Excellent.

AIH205. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, some oaty and mild nectary tones. Flavour is floral, biscuity, some oaty and mild grainy tones with a bit citrus as well. Citrusy and herbal aftertaste with a mild bitterness lurking as well. Refreshing.

AIH205, congrats to TBone for 30k Unique ones! Ambery copper colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is raisins, some sweet malts, mild dried fruity tones with some toasted tones as well as some biscuity and toffeeish tones. Flavour is sweet toffee, toasted tones, mild dried fruits, raisins, some figs and a bit caramel and biscuits to it. Quite a nice one. Works well room temperature warm too.

My unique rating #30000. AIH205. Ruby colour, small beige head. Toffee, booze, malts, berry-like sweetness in the nose. Medium-bodied. Toffee, malts and alcohol in the flavour. As promised, very classic Barley Wine flavours. As such ok.
