4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
<b>Bottle 75cl.</b>
<i>My beer rating #5900</i>. Light unclear medium orange color with a average to large, frothy - creamy, excellent lacing, fully - mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy yeasty, fruity, mandarine, apple porridge, alcohol, barley wine. Flavor is heavy sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a long duration. Body is full, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is soft - flat. Very nice and lovely. (140908)
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. A hazy dark red beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, liquor, and some caramel. The flavor is very sweet with notes of over ripe fruits, alcohol, liquor, and some hops, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy deep golden with a basically absent head. Intense aroma of fruit and malt with a whiff of yeast. Very full-bodied - almost syrupy - with plenty of fruit. No bitterness but an almost peppery burning alcohol on my lips. This is almost a fruit liqueur. Lovely! 140908

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled, thanks jbrus! Amber colour, not too much head. Aroma is hops, grass, alcohol, yeast, lingonberry and quite much raisins. Flavour is alcohol, fruits, hops lingonberry and some mild yeast as well as grass. Strong stinging sweetness in the finish.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottled, thanks mybestfriend! Hazy amber, no head. Super-mega-sweet. Over-malty extra full body loaded with syrup and sugar. Yellow plums that gets lost in an arousing mess of all things sweet. Finishes with ink, alcohol warmth and stickyness. Just way too sweet - the sensory overload causes all details to get lost.

Hazy red-amber color, flat. Strange aroma, sweet and alcoholic, with nuts and high carb fruits (yam, durian, chestnuts). Good body strength, the flavor is very sweet, malt and caramel, some fudge and sweet nuts, quite evident alcohol perception.
Cloying, confused. The bottled serving is better.

Flat hazy amber color. The aroma has light vegetables, but the flavor is very good, strong malt, very sweet, syrupy, with good bitterness. Not overwhelming, but very good for a Barley Wine lover like me.
