A light haze on this deep amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, modest fine carbonation. Soft caramel malts, a little dark toffee. Soft whisky soaked fruits and a little ripe citrus. Soft orange peel and whiskey linger. Good stuff, very easy drinking.

Bottle. Color: Clear golden to orange amber, white head. Aroma: Very spicy, pepper and mustard. Taste: Again very spicy. Malty. Starting with more mustard, finishing with more pepper. Light fruity hints of stone fruit. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Moderate to over moderate sweet and bitter. A bit too spicy for me.

Bottle at home from RAD Deep caramel brown colour with a tan head. Aroma and taste are toffee, and malty sweet with citrus. Full boozy body.

7th August 2024 A light haze on this amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head, doesn't last. A smooth and slightly viscous palate, decent fine carbonation. Soft but viscous malts, caramel, not that sweet, and cream. Mild alcohol spice. The orange brandy, not quite as obvious as I was expecting but, still easily identifiable and very well integrated with the viscous malts. As the beer warms up there is more of a caramel Grand Mariner vibe. Superior, glad I have a 2nd bottle of this.

So glad I got another bottle of this, addictive brown sugar and caramel with mellow Grand Mariner. Creamy malt base throughout. Yeah this beer sucks. What I really mean is I am sticking hard on it.

Whoo fucken hoooo! Menno is back! De fucken lighted! A very mild haze on this amber beer, short pale tan head that does not hang around. Smooth palate, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light but smooth malts, caramel and cream, touch of toffee. A lovely balance of ripe and fresh citrus, weighted, correctly in my opinion, to the ripe end. Whisper of red berry fruits. Smooth finish. Yeah, this is what a young barleywine should taste like. Fairly light overall but with a nice depth of flavour. Would age well in any barrel I can think of.

Prima basis Barley Wine, granig maar niet al te overdreven, ook geen fancy flavours, gewoon basic BW, zacht, zoet, wel wat (té) alcoholisch, lichte caramel en rozijn maar blijft vrij basic

Bottle shared at tasting. Brownish color, virtually no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sticky resinous brownish candy sugar, brandy. Absolutely delicious barley wine with a full body and sticky texture. Phenomenal.
