Plovmand (4683) - Helsinge, DENMARK - FEB 4, 2012
Bottle at hallinghansen grand tasting. 2007 edition. Pours hazy amber with a medium off white head. Quite hoppy and citric aroma with notes of sweet orange marmelade, caramel, butterscotch and toffee. The flavour is quite sweet and toasted with notes of sweet toffee and caramel. A very sweet barley wine indeed.

arkurzynski (716) - West Bend, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 29, 2012
2009 blue wax sample at Central Waters anniversary party. Deep red-amber in color. Nose of fruit punch and sticky caramel and toasted malt. Huge, complex mix of light/dark/tropical fruit flavors, caramel malt, toasted malt, and residual sugars. Low to moderate hopping lets malt complexity shine. A very interesting brew.

Pour out of 2009 bottle, bottle number 1003/1500. Pour is dark red with nice lacing off white head. Aroma brings notes of toffee, caramel, dark fruit, hints of oak, hints of molasses, biscuit, some slight spice notes. Nice smelling. Taste is a mix of white grape, molasses, caramel, hints of oak and dark fruit, figs and earth in there finish a bit sweet still but wow,, this one is delicious.

On tap at Capones during their Black Friday event - 2009. Amber with off minimal white head. Hops, barley and grains - not what I was expecting. Low carbonation, full bodied, amazingly long finish with honey and caramel. Looking forward to opening some bottles and spending some time with this one.
