50 cL bottle. Pours cloudy deep orange/redish with with a huge off-white head. Swet fruity, light yeasty and vague milky aroma. Sweet malt flavoured with a distinct yeast presence, subdued smoke note. Vaguely spiced too. Somewhat citric and fruity into the finish. Very subdued metallic touch. Nicely lasting fruity touch into the finish alongside a mild phenolic note. Nice one.

Bottled fliptop, alc. 7.5 %. BB 04/2009. Clear amber color, small white head. Crystal sugary sweety aroma. Hoppy, alcoholic, a bit fruit sugary. Long harsh and caramelly aftertaste. Certainly tastes like a bock. Kind of watery and uninspiring.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a small, off-white head that goes revealing a maple syrup colored body. Aroma is sweet with molasses, spruce, syrup, chestnuts, cinnamon, alcohol and raw malt. Taste is sweet with nuts, maple, slight bitterness at the finish. A little bit syrupy, low carbonation.

Tap @ BBF ’08. Clear dark amber colour, off-white head. Aroma of smoke, wood, some blue cheese. Flavour is smoky, bitter, a bit of caramel, like a German bock. Rather fullbodied. Very nice.

Bottle at the Angry Fist of Santa tasting at Chris_o’s. Love the aroma. 2005 bottle. Great barley wine, bit of heat in body. Actually it starts well but I went off it. Just too hot.

Draught, De Wildeman, Amsterdam. Didn’t realise this was 10%...no way I would have called that. Amber colour, with a decent whitey head. Caramel malt aroma with some berry fruit also. Quite sweet flavour but not cloyingly so; more fruit evident, with some spiciness. Thorougly enjoyable, complex stuff and has the whiff of real quality.
