Commercial Description:
Big malty flavors, including licorice and chocolate, are balanced with a moderate hop profile. Brewed with copious amounts of prized malts and flaked oats, the Barley Wine is so strong that it has to be aged for several months before we can bottle it. Like a fine wine, it will continue to improve with age up to 2 years after bottling (If kept cool).

Dégusté avec Pyrozoid, agaguk et grand genie. Apparence brun foncé avec reflet rubis, leger depot avec une belle mousse beige collante. Aromes de cuire, caramel, tire eponge, vanille bourbon, boisé, olives kalamata, sucre de canne, creme soda et biscuit soda. Tres peu effervescente, sallé, forte sensation d’alcool. Corps crémeux, bien balancé, tres rond en bouche. Gout de gingembre, caramel, malt fumé... Poste gout d’olive noir. Assez impressionante.

I was super-impressed with this one. 07 vintage, on tap at Brouwer’s Hard Liver 09. Pours a medium copper color with a thin head. Honestly tastes like Angel’s Share’s younger sibling. It has the same fantastic balance, with powerful notes of malts and hops. Tastes much darker than it looks. I’m impressed.

Bottle. Basketball-orange brown. Head dissipates quickly. Aroma is packed with booze, hops, spice, earthy and even some floral and dried cherry. Flavor of hops right away, and some malt and caramel along for the ride. Not overly sweet and just a touch of toasted malts at the end. Complex and rich.

(on bottle)Short hoppy nose and a whif of alohol, withheld, yet promising powerfull sent. Hazy dark orange, small head. The malts are more dominating in the taste and put a lid on the hops in the finish too. There are fruity notes, but the floresent aromas, taste and finish isen´t that complex, a fine hopped BW.

From a bottle poured a brown/ dark ruby color with a good amount of head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a lasting finish.
