Bottled, LCRBM. Pleasant and strong malty, fruity aroma. Hazy, brown color, small off-white head, fair lace. Sweet, fruity and lots of hops. A heavy beer yet still very drinkable.

[2nd Low Countries RateBeer meeting] Aroma of malts, sherry and fruits. Aroma is quite good. Hazy brown coloured with no head. Taste is sweet, siruppy-malty, fruity and some alcohol. Sticky finish.

Copper with some orange and a nice fine particled head. Aroma is sweet fruit and caramel malt. The flavor is slightly nutty but mostly sweet caramel. Syrupy body but not overly full. Overall a decent barley wine.

Not quite as good as it was last year, which tasted very similar to Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot, but still noteworthy indeed. Just a little too fruity this year. Very complex & tasty flavor though; full bodied on the palate. As far as I know, only available in the downstairs bar.

Nice. Nose malty, toffee and butterscotch. Alcohol very well-masked, very malty, subtle sweetness, caramel/toffee notes, a bit smoky. Full, good palate, but could use a bit more carbonation.
