| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 8, 2004 A red beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of malt, alcohol, caramel, and hints of hops. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel and the alcohol biting the tongue. A quite nice beer.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2007 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a cloudy, warm, amber golden with a yellowish head. Sweetish aroma of caramel and fruit. Soft mouthfeel, full-bodied with sweetish caramel and then some odd but fairly distinct smoked notes - as in a Scotch whisky. A bit flat and sticky perhaps. Ends with basically no bitterness. Definitely a different Barley Wine. 090407 yespr (12246), Copenhagen O, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours amber with no head. Smoked aroma, slight malty and rubber. Thick mouthfeel. Clearly fullbodied. Sweet raisin malty, syrup and oak hints. I don’t sense the vanilla, but the beer has a certain flavour smoothness. Good bitterness in the finish. omhper (12244), Stockholm, Sweden

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 23, 2000 Updated: Dec 10, 2008Clear light brown colour. Not much head. The aroma is smoky, peaty, with a lot of alcohol, a hint of juniper, dried leaf, a hint of bubblegum phenol, brown sugar, and rich caramelly malt. Lots of aromatic depth to this one. Fairly light body for the style, and goes down relatively easy. Light smokiness and easy caramel maltiness. Some earthy notes.
