A hazy amber beer with a thin though dense off-white head. The aroma is sweet alcoholic combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with powerful notes of alcohol and caramel. And the body is thick - a bit like drinking a mixture of molten caramel and alcohol. Nice Barley Wine.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a dense, creamy, yellowish head leaving a pretty lacework. Sweet - somewhat medicinal - oak aroma. Very full-bodied, sweetish malty - caramel - and then a distinct, hoppy finish. Lovely. Courtesy of Storm. 120207

(RBSG04) Lightly hazed amber body topped by beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, toffee, vinous, light smoke, oak. Taste is medium sweet, toffee, vinous, oak, some smoke, finishing with some alcohol burn. Medium full body, and oh so smooth! The highlight of the weekend for me.
