4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Flaska från Systembolaget. Djupt kopparröd, klar, vätska. Livligt gulvitt skum, snabbt avklingande. Intensiv doftvägg med primära toner av choklad och lite tobak som sedan ersätts av sekundära aromer av russin och färska aprikoser. Hög sötma balanseras väl av beska. Stor munkänsla med lätt spritighet, vilken aldrig spårar ur. Lång eftersmak.

Bottle of possibly 2005 origin, courtesy of Paul at Max’s for Jen’s going away tasting. Pours a hazed amber with a thin white head. Big and oxidized, super sweet old fruit. Big and oxidized, malty, old stone fruit, big old plums. Super bitter into the finish. Old.

Bottle shared by Paul at Max’s tasting. Apparently some age on this bottle. Pours cloudy amber with a minimal white head. Aroma is huge booziness, malts and caramel. taste is sweet, slightly boozy, malty, dark fruits and nuttiness balance with a hop profile of grapefruit and pine. This seems to have mellowed with age as the typical booziness I associate with barleywine has really mellowed. Pretty enjoyable.

Bomber bottle. Aroma is a very raw barley wine smell. Malt forward in the aroma. Appearance is a dark bronze with little head to speak of. Taste hits you in the back of the throat, malty barley wine with some hops at the finish. Some hop bitter in the palate. Overall, a good barley wine. Would buy again fo sho.

22 oz bottle, Kroger, Dublin, $6.99. Drank 5/12/13. Malty scotch brown color; nice head. This is a bit different from any barley wine I can remember; deep, sweet, brown malts all over this, almost peaty like a scotch. Description claims hop-forward but I didn’t feel that was the case; I would say this is a fence sitter that actually leans slightly malt-forward if anything. Very boozy, borderline astringent. Thick, creamy body. Would probably buy this again.

2013 rundan på systembolaget.
Djupt röd med beige krona. Tung doft av kola och knäck med en citrusaktig bakgrunston. Smaken är en maffig barley wine med ordentlig humling, men fortfarande balanserad.
