The nose was malty, caramel, sweet and lightly hoppy. The flavor was malty, sweet, caramel, lightly hoppy, lightly sugary, and warming alcohol in the end. Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body.Quaffable, balanced and worthy of a try IMO.

Bottle from Systembolaget (2007 version). Clear copper with a small fast dissolving white head. Sweet caramel aroma with dried figs, raisins, alcohol malt. Taste is sweet at the beginning but turns flat very quickly. Does not leave a memorable impression. I must admit that I-m a bit biased in my rating since I nowadays boycott att Nils Oscar products due to the INEXA-scandal. All beers from Nils-Oscar leaves a bitter aftertaste, but not in a good way...

Pours cloudy light brown with a small white head. Aroma is heavy grain - the malts predominate. Thick oily mouthfeel with syrupy malts from beginning to finish. Faint gritty bitterness at the end and a little alcohol. This one is a few years old and everything seems to have mellowed and blended. Nice.

Sådär härligt subjektiv man blir när man dricker på bryggeriet tillsammans med bryggmästaren. Men nog är det en av de bättre svenska barleywine jag sprungit på. 10 års lagring skall enligt bryggmästaren inte vara något problem. Då ökar dofterna rejält på bekostnad av mindre smak. Skall då få komplexa portvinstoner i doft. Detta exemplar är några månader gammalt.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Kaatuu lasiin viininpunaisena ja isokuplaisella vaahdolla. Haju on maltainen, marjainen ja alkoholin polttama. Maku on hieman savuinen, marjainen ja maltainen, jossa alkoholi maistuu läpi. Suutuntuma on täyteläinen ja hieman viinainen. Kokonaisuutena barley wine, jossa ei alkoholia ole valitettavasti saatu pidettyä piilossa ja se itselläni laskee arvosanaa.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma: The smell is quite boozy, glue/solutions with orange marmalade.
Appearance: A clear orange copper toned beer, a small off-white head with good curtains.
Taste: The taste is sherry, orange, alcohol, and a bitter rye feeling.
Palate: Little carbonation, soft texture, a medium body, a slightly coarse dryness.
Overall: A bit thin, the alcohol presence implies that some storing is needed. This was the early 2011 batch.
Note: On-tap at De Klomp tasting. (Vintage 2010) Reviewed 2011-07-16.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33cl bottle. Pours a nice honey with a layer of thin lace which sticks around for a while. The nose is very malty with a slight alcohol note. The taste is similar but oranges are coming through with a burnt sugar finish. The palate is full bodied but elegant in the texture with a long finish that is actually fairly elegant given the style. Overall, lovely.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle split with Brian. Murky orange-tan. Oxidized amber malt aroma. Sweet, not really benefitting from aging, assumably has lost some depth. Some honey tones, bad mead. A pinch lighter and smoother on the palate than i wouldve expected, but still not so enjoyable.
