Almost no head. Sweet smoke, fruits and caramell on the nose. Taste is smoke, fruit, sugary brown caramell, smoked meat, biltong with a little bitternes in the end. I really love this, it’s one of my favorite local beers.

Mørk brun. Lys brun tæt skum, duft af rød, bitter, røgsmag, cremet, bitter eftersmag Free Føroyar!!!

500 ml bottle at home - served in an oversized wine glass. Pours dark red brown with a greyish hue, small faint off white head. Aroma is smoked indeed, some typical Islay peat as well, cherries, rhum. Medium body with sweetsour taste, alcohol burn in the end. No carbonation. Aftertaste is smokey. Taste is plums, smoked malt. Okay I guess.

50 cl. bottle. Batch # 749A. Deep red-brown colour, thin tan head. Sweet aroma with a hearthy amount of caramel malts, leather, dark, dried fruits, hints of alcohol. Citrus hops and smoked ham. Complex aroma. Sweet and smoked taste. Full body and a thick feel. Finishes long lasting sweet with smoke, alcohol, spices and leather. A smoked Barley Wine sounds basically like a good idea, that would give you a complex, "high-octane" beer. However, this one lacks a bit more bitterness to be really great. Still a very good beer.

Smak och doft av torkad frukt, fikon, karamell, plommom, hjortron, och malt. Barley wine känsla, söt, oljig i konsistensen. Utebliven rök och en aning sötsliskig men med en bra beska.

Pours a dark caramel colour with some sediment and nice lacing. Strong aromas of smoke, campfire, meat and some sweetness. Tastes like smoked meat and caramel, charred wood as well. Very interesting beer. This is certainly nfot my favourite style but I can appreciate a good beer when I taste one. And for a smoked beer, this is a great one.

Bottle from BlackHearts&Sparrows. Great Xmas ale, strong but balanced. Aromas of smoke, caramel, wood, hint of alcohol. Taste is sweet, with bitter notes, and long length. Palate is syrupy, and full bodied. Dark brown, with a frothy head.

Flaska från SB, bryggd 2010, Norge-provningen. Nästan ingen rök alls i doften, istället typiska barley wine dofter, söt malt, hjortron, torkad frukt. Smaken är len, söt och lite oljig, mycket torkad frukt och hjortron och en liten beska och tvist från den lilla rökmalt som fortfarande märks en liten aning. Hur som helst en utmärkt barley wine. Mycket god.

Tap at CBM Jinbocho. Dark red brown colour, not much head. Aroma is full on smoky, meaty. Little bit of fruitiness swamped somewhere in there, and bit of booze. Taste is bbq sauce, slight bitterness, touch of booze, but hides the % quite well. Nice and smooth. As is my usual way with smoked beers, quite like them, but one is enough.

Bottle. Murky brown with some sediment floating around. Small off white head, that leaves a bit of lacing. Aroma is peat, forest after rainfall, caramel, earthy bark, light rye bread. Taste is near heavy sweet and light+ bitter. Near full body, oily texture, near flat carbonation. Unique brew, and I like the label.
