Bottle, from trade with jbrus. 2005 vintage. A hazy, golden beer with a minimal, off-white head. Lots of sugary sweetness on the nose, with a port-like alcohol scent. Too sweetish I think, both aroma and flavor. There’s a honey-like twist to the sweet, port flavor, along with dried fruits and warming alcohol. Full-bodied. The finish is of the lasting kind, with sweetness, port, dried fruits and alcohol. A lovely beer in a strange way, don’t really know what to think of it, other than it’s far from bad. 100521

On tap @ De Hemel. Amber colored brew, not much head. Aroma’s of caramel and sweet fruit, a bit grassy. Malty sweet flavor. Quite full bodied for a 5 percenter. Quite a bit of caramel/malt in the finish with a hint of bitterness. Pleasant brew.

On tap @ De Hemel. Copper colored brew, hazy. Nice thick off-white head, that doesn’t last very long. Smells very fruity (apricot, raisin), malty-sweet, a bit of spiciness. Sweet & fruity flavor, not sticky. Medium bodied. Dry and somewhat bitter finish. Nice.

33cl bottle. A birthday present. 2003 vintage :-) This beer ages very nicely and is well worth keeping in your cellar. Very little carbonation (it’s an old barley wine so who cares!). Oodles of flavour, yummy!

1L bottle bravely hauled to Denmark for me, by Fiona. Thanks a lot!. clear golden, small smooth white head. pretty boring aroma, mild, spices and malts and some bitterhops. flavor is spicy, malty, bitterhoppy, faint sweetness. reminds me a little bit of european strong, but with a little more finesse. not a gourmet beer though.
