Amber with off egg white head. Strong malty caramel sweet fruity flavor (cherries/dark fruits) Light alcohol but overall very well balanced & nice. Filling good body. Niceness!

180ml bottle (perfect bottle size for beer rating) picked up at Utobeer (BB: July 07). Slightly unclear, orange-brown body under a creamy off-white head leaving firm lacing on the glass. Pleasant aroma of plums, figs and winey hints. The gentle vinous touch continues into the flavour supported by underlying bitter sweetness giving way to discreet alcohol notes at the end. The downside is a rather sticky palate (08.03.2007).

[Sampled the sediments after beermouths and cabs party.] True Barleywine aroma, no doubt, with a very nice light clear amber look. Flavor is mediumbodied and with notes of alcoholic cognac, "barleyfruits", raisins, wood, grain and malt. Pleasuring and not sticky ad some can be at times.

Clear amber with a small white head. Caramel, malt, hay and rye-like taste. Quit thin body for a barley Wine to be.
