rodenbach99 (2510) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 11, 2013
Une bouteille de 50 cl en céramique. Vintage 2012 à 11.5%. Batch 12-219-22. Version fût de whiskey. Bière à la robe cuivrée foncée avec une mousse blanche beige. Au nez des arômes puissants d’agrumes, de houblons et de caramel. En bouche du sucre brun supporté par des houblons américains puissants. Le whiskey joue un rôle de soutien à merveille. Finale agréable sucrée, maltée.

ej (326) - Hauglandshella, NORWAY - MAR 31, 2013
Deep burgundy pour, little to no head formation. Aroma is heavy caramel malts with a distinct spicy hop aroma. Taste is liquified caramel with decent bitterness and a sweet finish. Full to medium-full body.

ClubGonzo (2704) - Bergen, NORWAY - MAR 31, 2013
Bottle, shared with Bergen Beer Geek Tasting Crew. Pours a clear deep bronze body with a tiny white head. Nose is creamy caramel and toffee notes, pepper and port wine tones with hints of soy sauce. Very nice. Taste is sweet caramel and grainy malt tones with hints of peppery hops. Quite nice, although not as much as the aroma. Full body, medium to soft carbonation. Right decent barley wine.

SlovakSniper (2115) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 2, 2013
Une bouteille de 50 cl en céramique. Vintage 2012 à 11.5%. Batch 12-219-22. Version fût de whiskey. Une robe ambrée qui se laisse couvrir par une mince couche mousseuse. Un nez qui offre à son caractère malté des effluves de pêches et de mandarines. Une structure qui se dévoile en toute simplicité mais qui est vraiment efficace. Des saveurs qui ne sont pas embourbées dans les sucres. Ceci dit, une bonne dose de céréales maltées qui apportent une belle douceur. Une présence feutrée du fût : le whiskey, qui ne prend jamais les devants, enrobe et accompagne les saveurs. Des flaveurs de coco qui viennent ici et là. Des fruits qui prennent beaucoup de place. Une présence intelligente de l’alcool : un harmonieux mélange. En bouche, un corps de moyenne densité. Un mouvement modéré des bulles. Une texture qui n’est en aucun cas altéré par le séjour en fût. Une finale toute en finesse, bien parfumée par les malts et amère par un alcool fruité et houblonné. Un vin d’orge qui ne semble pas être évalué à sa juste valeur.

A decent Canadian Barley Wine. Smells of Apricot, Vanilla and Cinnamon. Great tastes and great after bite I really enjoyed this one. Thanks Mill Street for another great product!
