3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. # 08750, best before 21.06.06. [Courtesy of yespr] This was the tasting session where Jacobsen Vintage 1 was sampled. The Imperial Barley Wine could have been the base for the Vintage version, so it was nice to be able to compare the two vintage with the Imperial BW.
Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Somewhat clear light sparking and pale amber color. Comparing the color with the vintage, the Imperial was more pale. Aroma of bread, tasted malt, nutty, grainy, caramel. Over the palate came light notes of alcohol and what could appear as oxidized notes. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation and light alcoholic texture. Moderated sweet flavor with light bitter notes. Lingering bread like finish.
It felt like it could have been a watered down version of the vintage.

Previously lost notes from GBBF 2006. A sweet overdone barley wine with hot alcohol and no balance. A bit of cardboard too. Not good.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Ordered as, and noted down as jacobsen imperial barley wine 2011 - cph beerfest. I am in doubt if this is actually what i got, i remember something was missing, was it 2011 or imperial?.
murky brown, no head. malty faint aroma, flavor is boozy, sweet caramel, flowery, a liitle too caramelly to be really good.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Pours hazy, deep golden with an 1 1/2 finger high off-wite head, quickly dimnishing. Nose of caramel, vanilla and alcohol. Sweet flavour of caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, mildl roasted malt and prunes. Full bodied. Oily texture.. Ends up more dry with a little bitterness. This one has maneged the storage quite well. An OK brew.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
(on bottle) Dark orange, small white head. Oxyged and moulded aroma. Sticky and allmost oily in the mouthfeel. A beer very much over the top and how can a 10.1% B.W be that? Again, Carlsberg makes me wonder........
