With great thanks to HogTownHarry. Appearance: Cloudy orange/red with a large off white head. Aroma: Yeast, very hoppy, barley, sugar, candy floss, malt and citrus. Flavour: Oak/Wood with alcohol, malt, serious malt, alcohol, salty, raisins, very long malt-alcohol finish. Quite malty and hoppy. Nice!

12oz bottle. Pours dark amber with a huge off-white head. Aroma is plums, grapes, citrus, and bread. Flavor is sweet, fruity, caramel, up front with a very bitter finish. Med. mouthfeel and a bitter aftertaste. This is pretty good, nothing crazy, but interesting and good...Barley wine? Really? huh...

Bottle, batch 65. Poured amber with a frothy tan head. Sweet aromas of dark fruits, wood, and mustard. The flavor found dark chocolate, caramel, wood, and a background of fruits and hops. Medium to full body, sweet upfront with a mild bitter finish. Nice!

Botella, batch 69., courtesy of Pinball. Hazy golden amber-red with a medium frothy mostly diminishing white head. Quite sweet bit harsh alco aroma with fruity hops, citrus and herbs. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is very sweet with fruity hops and caramel, citrus, alcohol, bit of port , raisins and toasty malt. Sweet long lasting fruitish hoppy finish. Too sweet.

’bout 33cl bottle shared with faroeviking. amber , very small white head. slightly sour aroma. sunburned beer, hoppy, barley wine’ish. flavor is raisins, sugar, hops, syrup, sweet yet delicate. the beer had no best before date printed anywhere, so i’ts anyone’s guess if it was fresh or not. brewer : please print a best before date. I might figure the date from the batch number, but that would be cumbersome when in a shopping situation.
