Feb 19, 2008 Draught at Dieu du Ciel! Pours a deep ruby-brown with an average size lasting creamy white head. Nice sweet aroma of caramel malt, fruit and hops. Big, sweet & fruity flavour along with hops, toasted caramel malt, alcohol and nuts -- quite tasty indeed. Alcohol’s present, but in a good way. Medium bodied. Wow, this was very good, and easy to drink -- another great one from DDC!

Feb 12, 2008 Draught (6 oz. sample) at Dieu du Ciel! Dark mahogany with a good sized white head. Aroma of chocolate malt and strong hops. Medium bodied. Great flavour, very big and well-balanced, with sweet caramel and toasted nuts off the top, and citric hops and some alcohol warmth in the finish. Yeah, this is some nice stuff.

Feb 12, 2008 On tap at DDC. Beautiful dark brown, thick creamy white head. Very sweet and nutty aroma, some alcohol. Taste is good - lots of sweetness, nuttiness, dark fruit. Very easy to drink for the style. I really enjoyed it!

Jan 3, 2008 Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. Dark mahagony color with thick creamy head. Malty, caramelly and toffeish aroma. Very sweet caramelly flavor with complex dark sugar notes and warming alcohols.

Jan 1, 2008 A very interesting barley wine. Probably the darkest I’ve seen, nearly black. Very dark reddish brown. Aroma is very fruity with syrupy malts. Medium to heavy body, not my favorite style of a BW, but a cool take on it... if that makes sense.
