Dec 29, 2007 (Draught at Glenfiddich Warehouse No 68, Stockholm, 16 Dec 2007) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with dried fruit, apricots, orange, Seville orange and generous amounts of slightly rubbery hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of wild berries, dried fruit, honey, apricots and citrussy hops in the finish. Medium to full body, rather sweet. Powerful and warming beer. Very nice.

Dec 29, 2007 Pours a amber color with no head. Has hints of sweet fruits, caramel, and spice. Very thin on the palate. Finishes with a sugary boozy taste.

Dec 28, 2007 Bottle poured a clear golden amber with a minimal lingering ivory head. Aromas of candied fruit, carmel, some herbal notes and alcohol. Palate was medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of burnt carmel, light spice and light fruitiness with a crisp dry warming finish.
A fairly bland and boring example of a Barleywine.

Dec 25, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin white head that disappears quickly. Not a lot of aroma - some dark fruits, sweet malts, apricot, no appreciable alcohol scent. Sweet malty taste with very little hop character in the back, but not so sweet as to suggest an English BW. Cleanly strong, but no real outstanding qualities.

Dec 21, 2007 even for a barley wine, this seems rather meek and mild tasting, despite its 9.5% alcohol. average malts that has a medium body. decent herbal hops.
