Aug 17, 2008 Aged this one a while, and the hops mellow out for the better. Sweetish, lightly boozy nose like sherry or port, some biscuit. Tastes mildly sweet, fruity-vinous, malty, with a fair bitterness leading to a quick bittersweet finish. Warming. Somewhat sticky yet lively mouthfeel. More fruit comes out as it warms. Enjoyable.

Aug 16, 2008 Aroma is impressive, very complex. Caramel, hops, fruity even. Poured a nice red color with a nice sticky head. Incredible balance with caramel, hops, and citrus fruits. 85-90 IBU’s on the bottle, but you can’t tell.

Aug 7, 2008 Poured a slightly hazy brown color with a huge fluffy tan head. Aroma was of sweet malt. Flavor was caramel malt and a slight bitterness in the finish along with some alcohol. I wasn’t too pleased with this brew considering their others (hercules and yeti).

Aug 4, 2008 deep ruby pour with solid head and good lacing. Aroma is malty with citrus hops. Flavor was strong with alcohol, along with some fruity undertones. I enjoyed the fiery intensity of this beer. Really delicious barley wine.

Aug 1, 2008 Bottle. Dark amber in color with a thick head. Strong malt and alcohol aroma. Sweet malt, caramel, and hops make up the flavors of this strong barley wine. Although, not as hoppy as some of the others that I’ve had.

Aug 1, 2008 Bottle from bigmmartin. Burgundy with a nice tan head. Aroma caramel malt and floral hops. Flavor is barely sweet then very bitter with a long aftertaste. Good mouthfeel and carbonation. I’m not too impressed but this is a nice brew.

Jul 20, 2008 Updated: Aug 31, 2008Bottle. (1 pint, 6 fl. oz) Pours a dark red/brown colour with off white head. Aroma is hops, malt, spices, toffee, caramel. Mouthfeel is great. Palate is slightly thick and creamy. Aroma is caramel, toffee, slight chocolate, before the hops kick in and tickles your palate and the alcohol warms up your throat and brings a couple of drops of sweat to your forehead. A lot hoppier than the previous Barley Wines I have tasted. But still a great beer!

Tap at Plan B in Cph/DK.
Unclear and hazy brown/amber colour with off-white head. Aroma is hops, flowers, fruit, malt, caramel. Flavor is very hoppy, but still very sweet with liquorice and a very pleasant bitterness that lasts a long time. Excellent beer.
