Pours a nice abler color. Tastes of fruit and citrus Doesn’t taste like other barley wines I’ve had but it is really quite enjoyable.

Nice hoppy and sweet aroma of toffee and dark fruits. Dark amber pour. More toffee and sweet dark malts with a nice fruity presence and a nice floral/peppery hop back. Smooth and creamy enjoyably awesome and incredibly balanced beer.

Medium yellow beige head. Deep red body. Intense strway grainy malt aroma, very firm and deep, with raisiny caramelly notes and traces of citric hops. Dry-sweet intense straw and malts taste with caramelly burnt almonds notes. Fruity alcoholic notes, too. Citric, bitter hoppy notes throughout, as well as toffee. Dry burnt almonds and citrus aftertaste. Very, very good. (0.65l bottle shared by gr0ve.)

Buy this beer. Buy a lot of it. Awesome contribution to the stylie in the old way and right way. Smells of malty sweetness with lightly toasted toffee. Taste is sugar butter on toast and raw smooth maltiness that makes this puppy addictive. Mouthfeel is seductive, leaving just enough behind to want more. Awesome beer. Thank you for the beer and the value.

22oz - 2008 Thanks Crosling - Aroma of caramel malt, subtle fruit, earthy hops and a malty finish. Pours transparent copper with a small head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is creamy and smooth. Alcohol is well hidden. A very nice easy drinking barely wine.
