An unclear orange beer with very little head. It has a fresh aroma of cowberries, black curran, orange, and spices. It tastes sweet of orange, cowberries, black currant, and spices and finishes of with a slightly bitter taste. A fantastic beer - definatly one of the best beers I've ever had.

Reddish brown. The first barley wine I came across. Citrusy aroma, very malty, chewy and fruity. Bitter finish. I liked it then and I love it still.

(Bottle 20,1 cl) Copper coloured, slightly hazy from impurities, almost no head. Extremely fullbodied with an avundance of flavours that almost "explodes" in the mouth. Malty sweetish almost fatty beer with a strong warming alcohol. Comes in a neat 7 ounce bottle "perfect for sipping".

Smooth, hoppy, great malts - a little sticky/resiny but well-balanced, luscious brew.

Århus2008. 12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and amber with a fully diminished white head. Malt dense and overripe fruity aroma. Sweet fruity with an intense hoppy and mild spiced flavour. Sweet and slight spiced finish.
