Deep ruby color, small steady beige head. Malts, molasses, plums, dark fruits, some vanilla in the nose. Still quite sweet, licorice, plums, molasses (caramel), liquerish soft palate. It has just right amount of alcohol in the flavor. As description says, quite English style barley wine. Pleasant. caesar (3034), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 8, 2009 25 cl bottle, via Papsoe probably. Pours a beautiful dark amber brown body with a great fluffy light brown head. Amazing retention and lots of heavy lacing. Rich sweet toffee aroma with touches of dried fruits, burnt caramel, a touch of oxidation, very light alcohol, and a bit of resiny hops lingering around a bit. Up front the flavor is very nice, all that toffee and dried fruit opens up with a nice resiny bitterness to balance. The finish is a bit less pleasant though, a little harsh with all the alcohol and there’s more murkiness. Vert late on the finish there’s a bit of papery oxidation that lingers on. Mouthfeel is thick and very creamy for a Barley Wine with perfect soft fizzy carbonation. Not much warmth given how much alcohol flavor there is on the back end. This beer was so close to being amazing. I think that this would have been better either really fresh or really old. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA
