3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Shortlived good head, cream-pink, over hazy dark red-amber beer. Fruity, slightly vinous nose, also slightly woody. Cherrywood? Dry, again pretty woody taste. As in the aroma, faint cherry- or other dark stone-fruitflavour, but subdued. Some liquorice, but not obvious. Bit thin for a Barley Wine, but at least medium bodied. Alcohol subdued, if some warming; bit slick. OK, but a good BW can stand quite a good hopdose. There might be more around here.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(bottle, 30cl, as JantjeŽs Barley-Wine, 9.0% abv) Hazy, mahogany colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Sweet and slightly toasty malty aroma with a spicy Belgian yeast character, accompanied by subtle fruity notes and nutty, leafy and woody accents. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Moderately toasty malty taste with a tinge of candy and subtle fruity notes (raisins, figs); sweet and slightly toasty and fruity finish with spicy and slightly nutty notes and a well-hidden alcohol. Likeable brew, but not that what IŽd expect from a Barley Wine. 22.II.10

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A cear red/brown colored beer, with a beige head. The aroma of caramel malts, with fruity sweet, some raisins with apple. The taste is sweet from the caramel malt, hints of chocolate, fruits like raisin. A little watery. The aftertaste is sweet with some bitter.
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Deep dark brown color. Grain and apple in the slightly vinous aroma. Grainy sweet, alcoholic flavor with apple, cinnamon and molasses. Thin. Poor quality brew.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Poured a dark murky brown black in color, very reactive floating chunks bounced off the jello creamy beige color head. The aroma was a bit sweet and full of alcohol, which burned the nose hairs just a touch. Very deep earthy dark malt filled the palate of my tongue, leaving a noticeable bruning sensation on each taste bud. Over all the best brew that I have tried by Maasland!
