Nose is typical barleywine notes- sweet, hops, alcohol. Nice surprise w/ the wheat flavors right upfront. Moves right into big flavors of more hops, sweet maltiness, some alcohol burn. Good!

Bottiglia da 750 ml al Red Bear pub di Marghera. Bella schiuma aderente e poco persistente, colore ambrato scuro e opaco, aroma luppolato, note di caramello e pane biscottato, al palato corpo medio e discreta carbonazione, note di caramello, albicocca, pompelmo, pane biscottato, una amaro persistente che rende il finale pulito e secco. Che dire una grande Barley Wine, da provare! Grande collaborazione di Mikkelker con l’americana Three Floyds.

From a 750ml bottle. Great aroma, orange, lemon and passion fruit sharpness, with piney hops and a large caramel and biscuit malt backbone. Lively carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel. Tangy and sharp and warm with the alcohol, sweet and very suppable. Top stuff.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 jookos (764) - Helsinki, FINLAND - APR 18, 2013
.75 Bottle. Orange amber, cloudy. Nose is very perculiar. Reminds me almost of a vegetable/spice (gruut) ale - a strong sharp, dark resinous aroma, combined with darkish caramel malts. Besides that we have a bit of yeastyness, hop greenery. Body is full, soft creamy, thickish. Well bittered. Old murky barley wine maltiness, pine needles, some alc. Overall quite clean flavours. Enjoyable brew - a well pine’d barley wine with some interesting gruut:y notes.
