A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also hints of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty again with caramel being most dominant, but also the alcohol showing itself off with a slight burn.

(Bottle 65 cl) Slightly hazy reddish amber with a small, off-white head. Fat aroma of caramel and aroma hops. Solid and full-bodied with a lot of sweet caramel. Very distinct hoppiness. Interesting but fairly hoppy Barley Wine. 011206

Bottled. Clear reddish brown, no head. Appley vodka aroma with some grapefruit and toffee. Very sweet with syrupy mouthfeel. Resiny bitter finish. The malt flavours are drowning in a thick blanket of syrup.

Bottle. Nice and malty, bonbon, pepper aroma. Hazy red/brown colour. Small white head. The flavour has a good alcohol bite, but it is nicely balanced by the sweetness and some of the same notes as in aroma.
