| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 16, 2002 Definitely lots of burnt chocolate, bitterness all seem to come from the malts, no hopbitterness detectable.
Well rounded, but I find the finish a wee bit thin.
OK, but I’ve had better Barley wines. RichardGretton (3148), Leicestershire, England

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 13, 2002 Pretty impressive stuff. Very roasty malty flavour, with a nice spiciness. Definitely a sipper, alcohol shows a bit, but not very much, slightly bitter finish, very nice. omhper (12229), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 31, 2002 Dark brown. Sweet, hugely malty, slightly peaty. Despite the massive maltiness the alcohol takes over a bit much. The bitterness is comparably low.
