375ml bottle shared with Dutchdrebus. Hazy deep dark red brown color, no head at all. Smell malts, a slight sourness, alcohol. Taste malts, alcohol, some fruityness but it’s mainly alcohol. Less outspoken than I had expected.

Clear amber, small bone white head.
Very hoppy aroma, citrusy and floral hops. Also some caramel and toffee in there.
Taste is very fruity. Sweet orange juice. It’s almost too sweet. The aftertaste is bitter and almost sour, like a sour lemon..
There is pretty much alcohol in the taste, maybe that’s because my bottle is pretty young. Good beer though.

UPDATED: DEC 26, 2012 Bottle from Ölbutikken.
Pours murky/cloudy dark orange with no head.
Sweet malt, cookie dough, sherry, raisins and alcohol notes to the nose.
Taste has huge amounts of sugary sweet malt, toffee, raisins and some hops, some citrus notes and a warm alcohol burn at the end.
Thick mouth feel, medium carbonation at the beginning of the bottle, a lot less when the 2nd glass is poured.
I paired this barley wine with home made chocolate fudge and home made "Daim" - a perfect pairing.

On tap at Cardinal. Clear ruby copper colored body with a light brown film. Sprucy pollen and dried fruits on the nose. Sweet and bitter. Syrupy. Pungent and full bodied. Alco warm. Smooth to drink.

Fra fat på Cardinaltreff des-12: tørkede frukter i aromaen. Godt balansert og fruktig smak. en god barley wine, men ikke helt i øverste liga. 10%. Må prøve en flaskeversjon.

Keg. Cloudy dark ruby-bet ale with an offwhite foam. Interesting light malt nose -a bit like sugar puffs and carnation milk. A little medicinal. Mouthfeel is a bit thick and syrupy. More medicinal tastes, some pear drops, heavy maltiness, some alcohol, berries, brandy, red wine. It's a bit all over the place and not something I'd relish drinking a lot of. But interesting.

Bedankt Antoine – proefglasje van ’t vat bij Delirium Hoppy Loft. Donkerder, wazig amber met een solide gebruinde / wite kraag. Ruikt naar zoete hop, mout, karamel, lichte brood, lichtjes geoxideerd, heel simpel met redelijk wat suiker, meer het witte soort. Smaak is zoete hoestsiroop, mout, hop, alcohol, sinasappelsap, zoete marmelade, brood, simpel, witte suiker zoetheid, kruiden, wat oxidatie, zoete mout, wat bitterheid op het einde, best wel wat alcohol, snoep. Lagere koolzuurgehalte – best wel simpel & met zoveel ingrediënten zou jij eigenlijk meer dan dit moeten kunnen krijgen.
