madsberg (7569) - Søborg, - SEP 25, 2006
Bottled. Golden coloured. Cleaer. Off white head. Alcohol, fruits and light spices in the aroma. Flavour is alcoholdense with loads of dried fruits. Sweet and light spiced. Is well balanced and quite smooth, and eventhough the alcohol is notable, its pretty well hidden. Easy to drink barley wine.

Ungstrup (23969) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - SEP 25, 2006
A hazy orange beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet spicy and malty, and so is the flavor - here coriander stands out from the spices, but the alcohol also makes its presence known with a slight burn, before a citrusy bitter end sets in.

omhper (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 8, 2005
Bottled. Copper colour, rich head. Orangey nose. Salty, rich and full bodied with juicy, filling mouthfeel. Notes of drambuie and almonds. Despite all flavours it feels mild. Very enjoyable.
