Sep 2, 2009 (Bottle, Monk’s Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of red berries, dried fruit and caramel. Vinous and sweet. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, dried fruit, blood orange, orange peel and a generous citrussy bitterness in the finish. Full body, sweet and warming. Very nice beer.

Aug 28, 2009 Bottle at Monks café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Pours out in a deep reddish amber colour with a small bubbly off-white head. Rich and really potent aroma of figs, plue plums, resin, dried apricots, flowers, brandy and peppery alcohol. Full-bodied with notes of flowers, blue plums, figs, oranges, black currant, grapefruit and alcohol. Long warming finish of sweet blue grapes, blue plums, raisins, garpefruit, mild resin and alcohol. Heck, quite a masterpiece, this!

Aug 25, 2009 Pours a dark copper/amber color with one finger, yellowish-beige foam head that lasts throughout, leaving chunky lacing all over the glass. Leather roasted malt aroma with a very nice citrus hop presence along with some lighter crisp fruit notes and sweet alcohol. Much hoppier than I expected(which was very pleasant) which compliments the leathery, roasted maltiness and sweet alcohol warmth very nicely.

Aug 10, 2009 Updated: Oct 23, 2009Barley wine très riche. Cuivrée-brune, elle offre des arômes de malt et d’houblon, ainsi que de fraises. Alcool au palais, avec une belle combinaison de malt-houblon en bouche. Finale de confiture aux fraises et d’alcool. Bonne bière complexe et intéressante a boire.

Aug 4, 2009 12oz bottle into a snifter. Aroma is metal, dust, and sweet. Flavor is huge sweet with a touch of alcohol and significant hoppage. Not bad, but I didn’t think it was as good as some American barley wines.
