3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Smells sweet, almost honey sweet with some alcohol and fruit notes. Taste has more alcohol and a little cane water sense. It almost tastes like a Belgian Strong rather than a barley wine. Some floral hops as well. A bottle my sis-in-law brought from Cervelar in B. Aires.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled at Monks Café, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear reddish amber colour with a small bubbly white head. Dense malty sweet aroma of candied oranges, fudge, dried figs, raisins, alcohol and pepper. Full-bodied with notes of raisins, over-riped oranges, butter, pepper and alcohol. Long warming finish of candied apricots, cookies, alcohol, nuts and white pepper. Felt quite rustic and rough but still quite charming.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Ótima surpresa! Cerveja artesanal da Patagônia. Cor de mogno e espuma bege volumosa no início, mas de curta duração. Aroma fantástico: bem lupulado floral e herbal, mas de certa complexidade. Levemente salgada e amarga. Encorpada. O sabor acompanha o aroma. Conjunto ímpar. Os 10% de teor alcoólico são sentidos; porém, dão uma potência muito agradável e interessante a essa breja. Os elementos todos estão em harmonia. É muito bom abrir uma garrafa sem saber o que virá pela frente, e deparar com uma cerveja tão especial como essa. Show!!!

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2007 Bottled. Cloudy brownish amber, creamy head. Melon-like hop aroma. Sweet and lightly minerally. Potent and full bodied. Murky flowery earthy flavours - typical for Argentinian strong ales it seems. Chalky minerally finish.

Bottled (BB 09/2007)
Nut brown color, small white head. Dark fruits, raisins and yeast in the nose. Full-bodied. Alcoholic, fruity, cream liquerish, raisins and some hops. Some earthy notes in the aftertaste. It is a bit too alcoholic but there is good things in this brew also.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(Bottled) Muddy amber with a small, bubbly head. Quite strongly alcoholic aroma with grainy malt. Very grainy-malty flavor with yeast (had the bottom part again). Still not the best time of day (2:25 am) to rate beers, but hey - I’ll try to survive. In either case, this was not something I’d try again very soon.
