Hazy dark amber color. Very nice aroma: malt, fudge, raisins, Christmas cakes. Very good mouthfeel, full malty flavor, with sweet caramel; good hopping, good ageing too. If anything about this beer, it’s too much alcoholic at the end, and a bit dusty. I love this aged, buttery Barleywine, excellent!

Sep 23, 2007 Updated: Dec 25, 2007Bottled Dark amber. Raisiny and caramelly with buttery thick sticky mouthfeel. Mild and warming, full bodied with lots of toffee and notes of bread. Wonderful winter warmer!

Sep 27, 2007 (Bottle, thanks to omhper!) Pours blood red. Big caramel and toffee aroma with some fruity tones of raisins, figs and prunes. Also some canned pears and maybe a toch of apples. Subtle tones of spices and smoke. Creamy malt flavour with light sticky tones of caramel, syrup, dark bread and toffee. Some dried fruit but also some hints of fresh fruit in the background. Thick, yet velvety and soft mouthfeel. Medium bitter and medium to heavy sweet. Full bodied. Less sticky, than expected. Nice.

Mar 21, 2008 Bottled (2004 vintage, thanks jjpm74!). Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is plum, raisins, alcohol as well as some wood and vanilla. Flavour is vanilla, wood, oak, caramel malts, alcohol and a bunch of raisins. Also some strange licoriceish raisiny notes. Quite sweet brew, good for sipping, but not for drinking any faster at all. Wellbalanced.
