7.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7
pours clear dark brown, settles black with a dark brown head.
aroma is chocolate, dark chocolate, faint roasted malts. roasted malts and tons of chocolate. quite intense for the abv.
Flavor has a good balance between dark chocolate and roasted malts and there is even a bit of bitterness in there, which is very aromatic and reminds me of roasted malts bitterness or chili bitterness. Not an extreme imperial pastry stout, but rather a session chocolate stout that does not come off as watery or thin. They managed the ABV reduction well.

hazy pale yellow, white head.

mild hoppy bitter and flowery aroma. intensity wise like the mild british ipa's not a hop bomb from the states for sure. farily balanced and quite nice aroma. think of it as a session-west coast perhaps.
flavor is heavy on the bitter hops, aromatic bitter hops, rounded malts not super crisp, end is somewhat bitter hoppy - more flavor than aroma, a pretty solid west coast ipa where the intensity is a bit subdued as is the ABV at only 5.5%. there is some serious hop bitterness going on here.

hazy golden with a creamy yellow head.
aroma is hops, tangerines, citrussy notes, bittersweet exotic fruits, quite a lot of malts and malt bitterness.
flavor is very hoppy with pine, grapefruit, alc. bitterness, a bit old hoppy flavors to the bitterness, so not super crisp and fresh. bitter oranges note. quite the brutal imperial ipa, a bit like a strong imperial ipa mixed with a bit of orange juice.

7.4/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 8.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 6 Overall 7
pours clear very dark brown, settles black with a bubbly small brown head.
aroma has a lot of bourbon and a roasted malty balance malts and bourbon are very well integrated and the beer feels like a whole, well blended. chocolate,coconut, vanilla, roasted malts, bourbon , wood, charred wood. In fact a really really good aroma.

flavor is syruppy sweet (like honey perhaps) bourbon, fainter roasted malts, alc. burn, licorice, liqeur. well blended as was the aroma.
Must admit that at the price paid i'm somewhat dissapointed, it's like this barley wine wants to be an imperial stout and ends up being a thin imperial stout with strange flavor notes. For this kind of dark barley wines it's between fairly good and very good. i think i would like more traditional barley wine malts OR a more imperial stoutish stoutness. it's like in-between two styles and failing two ways.

Nice aroma of laktose, sweet roasted malts, coffee grind
Flavor is sweet chocolate toffee and sweet chocolate cake. Some roasted malts but the main flavor is the adjuncts.
Good balance and does not come off as thin. Very pastry

Tap at scottish bar cph Rådhuspladsen
Clear yellow, white head
Mild Aroma a bit grainy, faint notes of eggs
Flavor is faint crisp lager with maltyand nutty notes
The mineral watery slightly salty crispness saves the det for an otherwise dull beer
