2005 bottle. Hazy amber body. Short, off-white head, quickly diminishing. Malty aroma of cookie and caramel with hint of grain and some notes of peach and raisin. The flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic and lightly bitter. The finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic and lightly to moderately bitter. Dry. Tastes of alcohol and cherry emerge in the finish, somewhat medicinal. But there is also overripe fruit tastes — plum, sweet peach. Medium body, watery texture that turns somewhat syrupy. Moderate carbonation. Nice port-like sipper.

(Bottle, Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 3 Aug 2009) Ruby red colour, slightly hazy, with brief white head. Malty, sweetish nose with notes of dried fruit, wild berries, port wine and raisins. Malty, full taste with red berries, dried fruit, caramel and raisins. Full body, sweet. Oily texture but smooth and well rounded mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and slightly vinous. Very nice beer to savour slowly.

Clear amber with a lasting white head. Aroma of caramel and bready malt, with dates and other fruits, roses and a hint of alcohol. Sweet and malty flavour with some fruit, and a drying alcohol finish. A fine, if a little too sweet barley wine.

On tap at de Wildeman 06-06-09 Pours gold/light amber, a great bar but poor light makes this very difficult to be precise. It also has a white head. Aroma is slightly Pilsner like, with hops and some sweet malts. This tastes a touch sweet but nice bitterness to balance, it’s hoppy and clean tasting. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6
