Bottle - Vintage 2009 - Sweet caramel notes and ketchup. Cloudy brown. Sweetish, plum and prune with a light body. Sweet and a bit of cardboard, but OK.

330ml bottle, dated 2009. Poured into a small snifter. Murky brown pour, zero head. Big aromas of yeast, malt loaf, alcohol soaked rasins, orange marmalade, burnt sugar & wood, with a slight medicinal aroma, too. Very sweet tasting, dark sugars, oranges, herbal/spicy hops, sweet malts, Fair amount of bitterness adds to the medium bodied, thick, sticky palate. Subtle carbonation like a cask ale. Finish is bitter sweet, like a fine thick cut Seville orange marmalade. Alcohol hidden very well.

Bottle. Poured a a slightly hazy brown-orange color. The head was off white and consisted of thin soap bubbles. Smelled of molasses, dates, corn, and hay. Medium bodied and sweet with a mild warming alcohol effect. Distinct brown sugar, toffee, wood chip, and fruit cake flavors.

Bottle split with mcberko. Pours cloudy gold/orange with a white dissipating head. Aroma citrus fruits, oak, grain, orange peel. Flavour of biscuit, grain, citrus fruits. Mildly sweet, with a pleasantly bitter hoppy aftertaste

355mL bottle, pours hazy orangey gold. Aroma of apple juice, butterscotch and candied sugar. Flavour is dominantly apple juice, sugar, butterscotch and some barrel-like notes. On par with the regular one.

Bottle@Home, aged for about 18 months. Very strong flavoured, loads of hops, malts and all kinds of spices/herbs. Also very fruity and very complex.

Pours reddish brown with very minimal head. Strong spicy aroma and flavour (spicy orange, nutmeg, oak, etc). Not as thick body as I would have expected. Alcohol hidden decently well, but not at all "warming". Would serve well to age for a few more years.

courtesy of fiulijn - hazy amber-brown colour with a poor foam left; aroma of almonds and prunbes; pretty hoppy; full-bodied with a sweet malt backbone; a decent bitterness and a long malty fruity (cherry and prune) finish - sumptuous

At Swans. Berry and wood aroma. Dark red, low head. Dry wooden, light phenolic flavor. Medium body, slick mouthfeel extremely dry on the tongue. Gets delicious after a bit of air.

Mellow beer, but still with character, quite fruity, nutty, and with enough bitterness.
Well matured, not old or oxidized, I actually like it more than when fresh.

Hazy red - dark amber color; small creamy head. Strange aroma, grocery store, cookies, my home made lasagna, light fudge, maple syrup. Sweet caramel and fudge flavor, some maple syrup, nutty, milky; strong body, the bitterness is subdued. I like sweet drinks, so I also like this one, but it wouldn’t be the one that could get me into Barley Wines. Generous mark.
