Ølfabrikken Clansman Richards Barleywine

Bottle. A slightly hazy, deep copper colored beer with a small, beige head. The aroma has lots of piney hops blending nicely with the malty sweetness. The flavor is malty, very malty actually, with sweetness to balance the lovely piney hops. Full-bodied and warming in the mouth, and with a long, malty sweet finish well balanced with the hoppy bitterness. A rather lovely one, blending the ingredients cleverly. (090605)

(on bottle) (Totally on the memory; I bought a whole case of the stuff, but never seemed to get around to rate it. Thanx to Pinball for making me check) Solid, hopped brew, with a firm alcohol nose. Tha malt was really heavy on the mouth, so even though the beer seemed pretty hopped for a finish, it came out with a long, earthy og alcoholic finish.

Bottle. Nice head with ok duration. Color is dark amber. Aroma and taste are complex and rich with lots of hops, caramel and malt. Good long finish.

Bottle, at London Shindig, August 2007. Sweet and hot. Straightforward barleywine. Some clean spree with hints of cinnamon. Quite enjoyable, though alcohol shows too much!

Pours a cloudy reddish amber color with a thin whjite head. Solid aroma of resinous and spicy hops with caramel. Very good flavor of resinous and spicy hops with a sturdy caramel malt and a strong bitter finish. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and gentle carbonation.
