Sample@SBWF2015. Cigarr, choklad, russin och bär kan urskiljas i doften. Torkad frukt, mörka bär, cigarr och mörk bitter choklad i smaken. Avslutas med en lätt lakritston Lite klen i humlen, om jag skall klaga på något. Lång eftersmak.

light brown - ruby red color; really great, malty aroma with oak notes; a great, well balanced, barley wine style ale; not at all sweet (as these high gravity barley wines tend to be); caramel malt with mild burnt sugar notes

Backlog from lost & found notes: Aroma is sweet and malty caramels, toffee and berries. Taste is dried dark fruits, plums, a hint of Slivovitza, moist and sweaty blue grapes. Slight bitterness. Great!

Pours a hazy amber-brown. Has a faint sweet malt and dark fruit aroma. A delayed taste of dark dried fruits, caramel, spices, and malts. Leaves a very dry aftertaste. Flavor was weak as I had it at a Xmas in July event.

341 ml bottle. Pours a hazy, brownish red with a creamy, medium, long lived, tan head that laces. Sweet malty aroma of caramel, dark fruit, berries and light spice. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, caramel, dried fruit, light spice with warming alcohol and a dry, bitter hoppy finish. Full body with a thick, oily texture and soft carbonation. Very nice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 GIJOE (981) - North Berwick, Maine, USA - JUN 24, 2015
Pours brown with a creamy off-white head that lingers long. Nose is slighty yeasty with strong tart candy notes. Taste is on the bitter side with a bold malty undercurrent. Full-bodied beast; thick and creamy. Very tasty brew.

Bottle @ ZEBF 2015. Aroma of raisin, ripe fruit and malt. Taste of the usual: raisin, ripe red fruit and caramelised malt. Good, but nothing special.

Bottle sampled at ZEBF 15. Pours cloudy brown with a ring tan head. Aroma of overripe dark fruits, raisins, light chlorine, caramel, toffee and a strange herbal touch. Flavour is over moderate sweet and bitter. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 JoeZasada (298) - Beaumont, Alberta, CANADA - JUN 14, 2015
Bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with a thin tan head. Some sediment. Aroma is significant; a sweet toasted maltiness. Taste is malty/hoppy - caramel sweetness with a floral earthy bitterness. Thick mouthfeel, very full bodies, but not syrupy at all. Finish is an earthy bitterness with a slight sweetness that changes to a spruce like crispness. Very complex. A fine example of a barleywine!
