bierkoning (4917), La Tropica, Netherlands Nov 27, 2006 8,5% on the label. Amber color, hazy. Grapefruit, blackcurrant and cascade hops in the aroma. Malty sweet and alcoholic. Oily hops, grapefruit and mango. Red berries. Very tasty barley wine, pleasant and full of character. Good balance. diabel (1209), Aarschot, Belgium Mar 5, 2006 Bottle - thanks to Lut and Joris for sharing. Amber, murky body. Off-white head. Very refined aroma of fine malts and hops. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. Moderately bitter finish. Quite complex, well-balanced flavour. Nice by a rather simplicity. Ungstrup (11353), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 29, 2005 [At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A hazy orange beer with a small orange head. The aroma i sweet with strong notes of alcohol and oranges combined with light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of oranges and a good hop presence from at nice hop combination. It also has hints of alcohol - but the alcohol is pretty well hidden. The end is dry. A really nice Barley Wine - with some American inspiration with all the hops.

Sweet malt and caramel aroma with plenty of hop - nice and well balanced. Sweet and bitter hoppy flavor with caramelly and fruity notes. A classic American barley wine style. Really tasty!!
