Oct 13, 2009 Brewed 2006, bottled 2007, rated Oct 2009.
Pours a hazy, deep brownish ruby, with a small, short lived, off-white head.
Sweet, yet slightly sourish, fruity malt aroma.
Reminiscent of a spicy port of sherry.
Dry, slightly vinegarry, cranberry-like sourness, meets a fruity, molassy sweetness (that would probably be the "cane sugar" mentioned on the back label).
Plum, burned sugar, something vaguely nutty, both in aroma and flavor.
Dry, sourish aftertaste. 11% abv astonishingly well hidden, though.
Full bodied, very mild carbonation, slightly dry mouthfeel.
Tasty, appreciatively complex, fairly smooth. Sourness does get rather tiring, however, although it mellows a bit towards the end of the bottle.

Jul 20, 2009 Bottled (50cl, Mallaskukko, bottle #3267).
Very dark ruby red color, small beige head. Alcohol, glue, molasses, dark malts and prunes in the nose. Full-bodied, quite smooth mouthfeel. Flavor has dark, a bit roasted malts, caramel malts, some salty licorice, prunes and also hints of iron and/orminerals. 50cl bottle is just too much for this kind of beer. Warming beer, but too simple alcohol knock-out for being really stylish barley wine.

May 21, 2009 Bottle # 3253 @ Mallaskukko, Turku. Murky dark reddish brown, firm mocha head. Buttery aroma with loads of figgy, earhy licorice, little molassy sugars, dark fruits and earth, some methol also, pretty intensive. Flavor has the same old butter, figs, earth, dark fruits and cloying sugars. Alcohol in the finish, along with some hops. Not very refined, doesn’t feel that well aged. A really heavy brew.
