| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 22, 2008 Lovely golden-brown colour. Cherwy, lightly toasty barley wine nose with hints of alcohol and caramel. Chewy - very English - with slightly grassy/mossy hoppiness and a long sticky finish. Scrape your tongue after tasting this one. fiulijn (7420), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Hazy dark ruby color; very thin head. The aroma shows some apples, less powerful than expected, with light hop flowers. Strong body, full malty, a lot of caramel flavor, very well combined with a strong hopping (85 IBU), of good quality. Hoppier than an English Barley Wine, maltier than an American Ale, it misses some stronger aromatic character, but it’s still very enjoyable. KimJohansen (7135), Copenhagen V, Denmark

Pours clear, dark ruby-red with a big, staying, creamy, beige head. Aroma has lots of hops, grapefruit, pine, raisins, light roasted, caramel, strawberries. Lowish carbonation, fine oily mouthfeel. Flavour has a tad sharp alcohol, fruity, raisins, roasted caramel. Long, lingering bitterness with pine, exotic fruits, quite sweet. Not cloying as there is a fine amount of hops in there. Okay offering from ST.
