Draught at Mikkeller Bar. Amber/copper beer with a small offwhite head. Hoppy aroma, vinous, malty, some alcohol, vinous and some biscuits. Hoppy flavor, grassy, some alcohol, vinous, bready. Nice but a little too hoppy and lightbodied to be a perfect barley wine in my book.

Borefts Beer Festival 3. Hazy orange - amber beer. Little cream coloured head. Smooth palate, fine carbonation. Trace of honey in the buckwheat malt. Mild fresh orange fruit but not that hoppy. Minerally. Crisp finish. Nice but was expecting something much more hoppy after the earlier goops! Original rating 3.5
3rd March 2012
Semi soft and semi dry palate with fine carbonation. Mild minerals. Creamy malt with both sweet and spicy characteristics. Really nice hops! Bitter pine and citrus. Resinous marmalade with a trace of lemon. Semi dry finish. Fantastically joined up and overall slightly sweet. Touch of subtle red fruits underneath. Hugely drinkable. This is what I was expecting and what I didn’t get when I first sampled it at Borefts 3.

On tap at The Trappist. Pours reddish copper with a modest beige head and a fruity aroma. There is a complex flavor with plum, molasses, pear and a very dry alcohol finish that clings to the palate.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Small sample at 3f.... Pours a semi-hazy apricot caramel brown and topped with a creamy frothy white head... Aroma of sweet caramel malt and dark fruit with a hint of spice and a piney hopped backbone. Thick and coating. Smells heavier than its actual appearance... flavors are honey and syrupy caramels with touches of red and dried fruit as well as maple. A bit thick and cloying. Bigger beer with a heavy body and low carbonation. A touch too much and big for my taste.
