Commercial Description:
At Weyerbacher, we prefer to brew things true to European style guidelines, so our barley wine is definitely on the malty side, without being overly sweet. Notes of date or perhaps fig on the palate follow a pleasurably malty aroma to your taste buds. The finish is warm and fruity, and begs for the next sip.

Red amber in the glass. Aroma starts malty sweet and finishes slightly with alcohol. Very smooth and warming going down with a hint of dark fruit.

Pours a red/ruby color. Very strong / heavy beer. Very malty and sugary. Leaves no head / flat, low carbonation.

Pours red amber with a quickly disappearing off-white head. Aroma is very malty with fruit, caramel, and a spiciness that doesnt quite fit in. Flavor is more of that malt with some raisins that have gone a little bad and a dash of spice. Does a good job hiding its alcohol, but it becomes more prominent as it warms. This is not as unpleasant as I have described it. I’m actually enjoying it, even though I think the spices are a little over done. Drink it a bit on the colder side.

Bottle [Vintage 2005]. @<a href=http://ratebeer.com/forums/thisted-kalder target=_new> Thisted Tasting by Maria.. Clear medium to dark amber color with a small, fizzy, virtually none lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, dark raisin, wood - oak, light alcoholic. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a long to average duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is flat, finish feel is light alcoholic. (120408)

Amber pour with small brown head. Very much prune with a hint of spice on the nose. Flavor is brown sugar and prunes with a thicker consistency. Nice warming from the alcohol, but not too overpowering.

Pours a clear, ruby amber with just a little tan head that rings the glass. Aroma of slightly soured, under-ripe plums and raisins along with alcohol, spices, and some very sweet caramel malt in the back. Taste is very sweet fruity malts at first with a little caramel. The finish really does leave you begging for the next sip, but only because of the blaring alcohol. Finish lingers with a dry, warming, thick, malty sweetness.

Clear amber-orange with a nice, thick offwhite head. Sweet toffee, light toast with mild citrus and piney alcohol tones. More sweet candy in the flavor over a coating fruity bitterness and a nice malt backbone. Plenty of alcohol warmth on the way down. Well balanced, and rather thick.
