4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 Maria (9569) - Thisted, DENMARK - DEC 28, 2009
It’s dark, red mahogany with a small head and the aroma is vinous with notes of raisin, malt, caramel, grapes, “fat” toffee and light wood. The flavor is sweet and vinous with notes of raisin, caramel, malt, light wood and cognac. It is very, very well balanced, incredibly nice and harmonic.

UPDATED: OCT 27, 2011 A Special treat from Keith!
Pours an opaque orange, golden into the glass. Aroma is intense raisin, wood, intense toffee caramel malt, dates, bit of booze. From the first sniff it’s obvious that this is something very special. Mouthfeel is thick, chewy. Flavor is concentrated toffee, raisin, dates, lots of woodiness, brown sugar. So well structured and such complex maltiness that the concentration of the flavors doesn’t seem the least bit overbearing

bottle... medium shiny brown, thin tan head, no lace... the aroma is all smooth cognac, smells great, accented with brown sugar... the taste is equally outstanding, has me be debating my long standing belief that the bourbon is one of the best barley wines out there, brown sugar, molasses, malt, raisins and cognac, love drinking this... must try
