Jun 16, 2009 Pours ruby amber with a thick tan head. Aroma is cherry, vanilla, alcohol, honeysuckle, and some nut. Taste is very roasty with sweet caramel as well then a noticeably bitter chocolate and toffee finish. Smooth texture with the alcohol hidden well. Very well made beer.

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.

Tastes of heavy malts, very light hops, caramel, raisins, licorice, and sweet fruits. Medium creamy body with a slightly hoppy and alcoholic finish. Overall pretty good.

Jun 8, 2009 Bottle. Got this as a freebie after WBF but did not enjoy this beer at all, maybe should retry it.

Jun 7, 2009 Poured from Bottle into Snifter glass.
Pours a deep mahogany color with a very faint tan-colored head that quickly dissolves into a fine ring around the glass. Aroma is dominated with dried fruits and accompanied with some toasty malts and a little booze. Flavors has plenty of sticky malt and dried raisins. Not much alcohol is detected in the flavor but the flavors do stop short. Its a full to medium bodied beer and has a light carbonation. Decent Barleywine.
