Cloudy brownish appearance. Hineyish berry aroma. Sweet and fruity. Not yet mature, but well balanced. Lightly salty finish. The malt character is just wonderful...

Dec 13, 2006 2005 bottle, 11.7%. Very malty, peppery, creamy and roasted aroma, with some dried fruits. Quite complex aroma. Cloudy dark red/brown colour with a small light brown head. The flavour is very sweet. Has some sweet fruits, dried apricot. I sensed a little aroma hops at the beginning, but now they are gone. Very pleasant, peppery aftertaste. Low carbonation.

Jan 22, 2007 Bottled (2005 vintage). Reddish brown colour, minor head. Aroma is plum, grapes, caramel malts, raisins and some toffee. Also alcohol gives a nice sting. Flavour is redwineish, a lot of grapes, berries, plum, alcohol. Long alcoholic finish. Just a lovely balanced thing.

May 19, 2005 2004-edition. Bottled.
Red brown coloured with a small orange head.
Sweet aroma with lots of fruits and berries and notes of port and alcohol.
Not much carbonation, I would prefer more carbonation.
Sweet flavour with lots of fruits and oak with notes of port and hops.
Dry bitter finish.
I guess I’m gonna buy a lot of this one, it seems like a beer that’s get better with some aging.
This beer is one of the reasons why I’m very fond of barley wine.
