An amber beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and oranges. The flavor is sweet with lots of alcohol that burns the tongue, but also notes of wood and caramel. Too simple for my liking.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Vintage 1999. Very unclear amber golden with a small, off-white head. Malty, caramelish aroma. Full-bodied with lots of caramel and some delicate sherry like accents. Very subdued bitterness. Lovely. Tasted at the Oklahoma Beer tasting March 06 hosted by <i>mjames</i> and <i>lilannie</i>. 240306

<i>Bottled.</i> Clear amber, viscous, not much head. WHiskey arom aof oak and alcohol. Salty with some toffee. Kind of light bodied for such a big brew. Alcohol gives a burning sensation. Long bitter finish.

<i>1999 vintage, rated 2003</i><br />Dark amber-orange; aroma is typical of barley wines this age - toffee, chocolate, molasses, with slight band-aid phenols. Rich complex malt profile - earth and pine included. Solid and serviceable, as it's always been.

1999 version. Deep amber, slightly cloudy, minimal head. Aroma is sweet, slightly vinous, rich. Taste is straight-up barleywine -- sweet (somewhat fruity), big hoppy beer, with loads of malts balancing things out. Good alcohol burn on the swallow.
