Somewhat tart grapes and prunes set against a woody and nutty base. Phenols. Alcohol impressively masked. Everything else about this barley was average.

Thanks for sharing bro. Pours a rich mahogony color with thin light tan head. Aroma is of light notes of dark fruit, brown sugar, light caramel and earthy resinous hops. Taste is brown sugar, light caramel and toffee, light medicinal notes and dark fruit. Alcohol is well hidden and body is creamingly smooth with light carbonation.

Pours a reddish-mahogany color with a medium off-white head which fades rather quickly. Aroma is light resinous hops, dark fruit, brown sugar, and caramel malts. Taste was quite medicinal, caramel malts, and brown sugar. Very different taste than most Barley Wines, but the mouthfeel was there but a bit too medicinal.

Bottle. Pours a very hazy deep brown color with minimal head. Seems that the Viking beers are still somewhat under carbonated. Flavor is rich and sweet, slightly resinous and milk chocolate along with roasted malts. Very sweet with a slight hops presence and alcohol burn at the finish. Medium to full bodied. Overall not a bad effort.

Dark carmel color with little head. Deep malt, flower and linen aroma. Sweet with a nice bitter finish.

Bottled. An unclear red-brown beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

bomber. red shade of mahogany brown with an off white/tan ring for a head. very floral initial aroma is followed by malt, vanilla, cooked yellow peaches, brown sugar and a touch of spiciness. the flavor is peachy, grainy and much the same as the aroma with just a slight bitter touch on the finish. medium bodied and easy enough to drink a lot of without it getting sticky. no way it’s 12%. 6/4/6/4/13/3.3

Medium dark pour. Very fruity aroma with sweet malt. More dark fruit and sweet malt in the flavor. Alcohol was prevalent but not too harsh.

Lil bottle i’ve had in the cellar for quite some time. I got this via trade a ways back. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Nose is sweet but small. Taste is sweet and rich and much better than I had expected. Additionally it is so smooth for 12% this bottle is at least 2 years old.
