Flavor is fruity, come citrus and floral hops going on, some spicy yeasty flavors. Not bad. Probably the best barley wine in Argentina :) sebletitje (1880), Tampa, Florida, USA Sep 4, 2009 courtesy of ibrew2or3.
Highly underrated BW.
pours amber, dark head.
Aroma of caramel with hints of herbs
Flavor, caramel, spices, malts finish had some possible sourness to it hinting to tartness.
Some elements are well done while some of the BW aspects are a little to be desired.
Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark Sep 3, 2009 The color is golden and the head is creamy. The aroma has notes of malt, alcohol, fruit, mostly grapefruit. The mouthfeel is quite oily. The flavor has sweetness and notes of alcohol, grapefruit and malt. IMO it’s a bit monotonous. plovmand (1588), Helsinge, Denmark Sep 2, 2009 Bottle. Golden body with a medium off white head. Sweet malt, fruit and light hops in aroma. Flavour is alcoholic, sweet malty and light fruity. Not very pleasant and unbalanced. Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Sep 1, 2009 750 mL courtesy of kp. Pours deep gold with copper core and tall off white head. The aroma is a bit spicy and mixes with the additional notes of apricot and mildly musty sweet malts. The taste begins with slick sweet malts and sweet apricots. It then gets a bit more fruity with apricot skin and apple skin tartness mixing with plenty of malty and fruity sweetness. The hops seem to show up with some late addition to the boil spice hop flavor and a dash of earthiness.
