Commercial Description:
Translation from website: "A beer with a strong, and obvious sweetness. Drink it now, or why not save it a couple of years? It will only improve with time."

This classic hearty ale started out a gold medal winner in the Swedish Homebrewing Championships in 1993, and went on to win gold in the World Beer Cup in 2000. A little something to see you through the longest darkest night.

Pours a brown/red body with a fizzy head that disapears fast. Aroma is of sour of citrus. Reminds me of fermented apples, little like apple cider. Flavor is malty, has a weak grassy hoptaste. Flavors of plums to, and little boozy. Theres a winey taste of graps to. Palate is medium thick, but for a barley wine it is rather thin.

Clear orange brown color, short head. Aroma of caramel malt, some alcohol, hops. Bitter and malty taste, bit sweet as well. Very nice balanced barley wine, not too dominantly hopped.

A Mes rate: Bottle @ Københavnske Øldage. Lovely soft and rounded barley wine. Not the most complex I have tried but tasty all the same. Strong malt and barley sugar throughout with a good slap of alcohol for the finish.

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2007. Clear cobber - white head. A lot more simpel than I remembered and expected. Sweetness, barley, fruity, light hoppy, grains, vinous. Soft mouthfeeling.
