Jun 19, 2009 Updated: Nov 7, 2009Pours ruby hued with small, quick-diminishing off-white head. Aroma of caramel, vanilla, banana, alcohol. Taste is very sweet up front and all the way through to the finish. Caramel, raisin, chocolate, sweet malt, alcohol. Alcohol is strongly present but not overwhelming enough to take away from the flavor. This is pretty good, a little too sweet and alcohol isn’t very well hidden.

Jun 15, 2009 Pours a deep red with a perfect small head that lingers. Aroma is of molasses, toffee, a little chocolate too actually. Very malty aroma also. Flavor is of sweet flower, burnt malts, and the booze is quite apparent here. Mouthfeel is smooth, medium carbonation. Not the best barleywine ever, but very drinkable, smooth, pleasant. Overall, good plus.

Jun 11, 2009 Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a nice reddish brown with a small and fading white head and a sweet aroma of malts, brown sugar, rhum, vanilla, alcohol and some hops. The taste is sweet and a bit alcoholic too, with notes of liquorice, chocolate, dark and ripe fruits, lots of sweet malts, dried fruits (raisins and figs), brown sugar and some hops. The finish is both sweet and alcoholic with a sticky, sugarry mouthfeel that stays for a long time.
