Copper colored pour with a white head. Buttery aroma, caramel, brown sugar, and some alcohol. A bit of dark fruit and cardboard, too. The flavor is sweet and malty. Nice caramel and toffee notes, hints of dark fruit, and some toast. Definite alcohol flavor and head and some cardboard notes.

50cl bottle pours hazy copper-ish amber with a thin tan head of foam. The aroma delivers a mix of sticky malts to pine hops to caramel covered red apple wedges. The taste is similar with malts mixing with thick pine hops that are moderately bitter. It pretty much stays that way into the finish except for faint notes of caramel candy and red apple like fruity esters. Pretty nice barleywine.

Orange color with fleeting ivory head. Toasted caramel, pit fruit, marshmallow aromas. Rich, smooth mouthfeel. Toasted caramel flavors with spicy pit fruits, nicely bitter alcohol twang to finish--good.
