| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2007 (Bottle 33 cl) Vintage 2002. Pours an almost clear, amber golden with a tiny, off-white head. Soft aroma of overripe fruit. Very full-bodied and a very smooth mouthfeel - partially due to the low carbonation. Has very distinct, sweetish caramel accents, vanilla and again this typical overripe fruitiness. The finish is full of overripe fruit. This really has aged quite gracefully. 080507 Dedollewaitor (3755), Odense, Denmark
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 8, 2007 Unclear amber with no head. Aroma & taste is very sweet malty caramel, hoppy & alcohol sugary. Nice texture - ok filling & smooth. Alcohol well hidden & overall well balanced. Great Barley wine! ekstedt (2446), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Bottle. Clear amber, small off-white head that quickly disappears. Fruity malt aroma with the typical NO fresh grain touch. Some rostaed notes along with toffee and herbal hops. Medium bodied. Sweet aroma, alcohol completely hidden, moderate bitterness but still well balanced. A bit plain for a barley wine. Marsiblursi (1650), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 22, 2007 Updated: Jun 10, 2009(Bottle) Pours beautiful clear red. Fruity, malty aroma with the Nils Oscar house graininess. Rather sweet and complex with tones of caramel, toffee, orange peel, grapefruit, raisins, figs, apples, hops and some honey. Tiny roasted with subtle spicy hints. Medium sweet and medium bitter flavour with tones of dried fruits, caramel and hops. A bit honey-ish and syrupy, but not cloying, more fresh and clean mouthfeel wise. Some alcohol warmth. The Nils Oscar graininess comes through in the flavour as well. A light sugary sweetness lingers. Medium body. A nice but maybe a bit too friendly Barley Wine.
