Clear fizzy golden color with a thin white head. Faint sweet aroma. Sweet fruity flavor, almost hints of candi sugar.

Nip courtesy of DavidP, thanks. Says 10 year anniversary, which I guess means its a 1997 bottle. Poured into a St. Bernardus glass. Pours with very little carbonation and just a bit of lacing that quickly disappeared. There are definitely big chunks of stuff in it, not your regular sediment. Color is orangish copper. Aroma is very present, but weak for a barleywine this strong. Got that barleywine aroma of plums and raisons, but too muted. Taste is the most watered down barleywine I have ever experienced. Thin mouthfeel, no aftertaste. Its a weak ass barleyine. Again, this beer goes to prove my theory Germans love Dav..uh...I mean... Organic beers usually suck. But it does add to my barleywine collection, thanks again Dave.

bottle - Pours dark brown to black with a very thin head. The aroma of roasted malts and coffee is pleasant enough. The flavor is consistent with the aroma and there isn’t much else going on here. You’ve got roast malt and you’ve got a fairly mild coffee flavor. It’s too light and the body is too thin to be a particularly good stout. It’s okay, but certainly not worth seeking out.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a hazy amber with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Full, sweet body with a shipload of caramel and some nice, citrusy hops without being particularly bitter. Lovely. 170406

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a deep, dark brown - almost black - with a wee orangey hue. Neat, creamy beige head. Malty, lightly burned aroma perhaps with a touch of coffee. Perhaps a whiff of butter also. Medium-bodied with lots of roasted malt. Lightly burned, bitter finish. Luckily that touch of butter never made it to the flavour. 170406

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is slightly malty but you have to really get your nose in there. Flavor is of light hops and even lighter malts. Everything about this brew is bland and watered down. Look for better of the style.

An unclear orange beer with no head. The aroma is quite light, but what is there is sweet and acidic, with light notes of caramel. The flavor is also a combination of sweetness and light acidity, combined with notes of hops. Nothing special.

An opaque brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of roasted coffee, but also a faint note of butter. The flavor is sweet roasted combined with light notes of malt, coffee, and vegetables.
