3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Københavnske Øldage 2006. Preview of the 2005 version. Pours a hazy brown with a small white head. Quite sweet and malty hints of caramel and alcohol. Could have more hoparomas. (Still possible with some dryhopping before December ;-). Sweet finish.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. 9.5%. Pours red/brown with a light brown head. Sweetish malty aroma with fruity notes. Sweetish smoked malt flavour with underlying hoppy notes, which comes out as it warms. Finish has a sharp sweetness and remote alcohol notes. Very drinkable and smooth despite the alcohol percentage – not as heavy as other barley wines. 30-12-06.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 12, 2006 Draught. Weak, peppery aroma, I seem to get a little smoke also. Quite cloudy, very dark red colour. Big, semi-stable, light brown head. The flavour is quite malty and a bit acidic. Roasted aftertaste. After a few months more of lagering the flavour is more rounded and less sharp. Definitely improved.
