Mar 15, 2009 Bottle. Look: Strange red-orange (pinkish). Smell: Complex aroma! Soy, hops, bourboun, honey, spices... etc. Taste: Very special and complex taste! Vegtables, butter, sweetness like childrens medicine. Overall: Full bodied. Thick. Interesting beer even if I personally didn’t like the taste that much.

Mar 12, 2009 Bottle at alvinne, well a few samples from a bottle. Alround rating: Mead like body with a huge syrupy mouthfeel, like noe 30yr old sherry, great legs on the glass. Its massivly sweet yes, but something balancing it, the alcohol is really well hidden and generally speaking i was really impressed by this bad boy.

Mar 10, 2009 Bottle at Pre ZBF, Alvinne, 06-03-09 Pours a murky amber colour and with no head. The nose was pure confectionary shop with some syrup poured on to for good measure. This taste good but as the nose had suggested it was a little sweet for me at times and even a little cloyingly so on occasion. Really sticky and oily in the mouth and glass, plenty of alcohol though this doesn’t dominate proceedings, despite my criticisms, I quite enjoyed it. A7 A4 F7 P4 OV14 3.6

Feb 15, 2009 Bier Koning. Dark red body with no foam. Sweet and syrupy nose. Taste of sugar, oranges and medicinal in feel. Very sticky and syrupy. The high ABV gives it a sizeable kick. I understand this is a good barley wine but not for me at all.

Jan 14, 2009 Bottled. Pours out in a cloudy orange colour with a small disappearing white foam. Dense and malty sweet aroma of orange-liquor, yeast, spices, crackers and alcohol. Full-bodied with notes of sweet oranges, brown sugar, alcohol and almonds. Smooth mouthfeel. Long warming finish of alcohol and orange-liquor. Rather young and sweet, my other bottle will probably rest in the cellar for a decade or so.
