Aug 31, 2008 Deep reddish colour, small off white head. Fruity warming spicy malty aroma.
Flavor, citrus, pine some maltiness a very warming after taste. A very well rounded unassuming barley wine that growes on you the more you drink of it.

Aug 25, 2008 Updated: Aug 26, 2008A reddish brown colour. Some hints of prunes and maltiness in the nose. Nice sweetness and dried figs and licorice in the taste. The taste is coming better and better during ageing. A bottle at Pikkulintu shared with Mirjukka.

Aug 14, 2008 12 oz bottle, born 2006. Clear garnet brown with some beige bubbles. Nose is caramel with herbal notes of sage and mint. Almost medium body, oily, with an odd sour tang. Taste is watery toffee and lemon that turns nasty with formaldehyde and bitter greens. I had a fresh one and don’t remember the harsh aftertaste. Bad ager or bad bottle?
