Bottled. A hazy orange-red beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of over ripe fruit and hints of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of over ripe fruit, alcohol, that gives it a good body, and dried peaches.

(Bottle 65 cl) Slightly hazy, dark amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving some lacework. Fat aroma of caramel and overripe fruit. Solid body with rich caramels and again lots of overripe fruit notes. Harmonious and balancing bitterness. Well-made. 301107

Bottled, year unknown. Pours thick and mahogany coloured with no head. Orangey nose. Very malty and very sweet. The finish is drier and nicely hop aromatic with lingering bitterness.

From bottle, no 10 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy brown to deep orange and with a lacing off-white head. Hoppy and caramel malty aroma. Soft woody and dry hoppy flavour. Has a very subdued sweetness with is completely outconquered by the barley and the hoppy flavours. Has a mild spice note lingering into the finish and leaves a nice complex sensation. Ends mild and yet complex.

Cherry red colour. The aroma and palate both show a similar big fat maltiness, and a lot of earthy, hedgey hop notes. Relatively straightforward.

Cloudy red-amber color; creamy head. Very good malt and hop aroma. Good malty body, with its fairly hop share, caramelly and chocolatey. Good Barley Wine or American Strong Ale, even if a bit unemotional; but I like it.
