Swingtop bottle brought back from BarleyWine in Copenhagen. The lady in the shop thought this was about seven years old. It pours out a dark amber and manages to form a head for a few seconds. The aroma is vinous, spirit-like, fruity like port or brandy. Lots of raisins, dates, brown sugar, toffee and peat. Maybe a hint of cardboard creeping through as well. Most of those elements crop up in the taste, but it’s only once I get down to the dregs that sour cherries come out. Quite a slick mouthfeel on this like a vintage barley wine. Has held up nicely!

1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Pour is hazy reddish with off white head, aroma has notes of cough syrup, some slight slight sour cherry pit, some slight biscuit, toffee, but really a lot of medicinal cherry. Taste is really harsh medicine with some sour cherry, I tasted this and shivers went down my spine and I couldn’t drink any more. Tastes like gross cherry, cough syrup, touch of biscuit, finishes with more cherry.

shared by Solan, bottle was 3 yrs old. Caramel malts on those with some slight oxidation. Pours caramel amber with a very thin head. Slightly oxidative flavors but still really nice, caramel malts with bread and sweet raisins. This beer finished really dry and made it very enjoyable.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Etwas alkoholischer, deutlich fruchtiger Geruch. Angenehm malzig-würziger Antrunk mit vergorener Fruchtnote. Kaum süß, eher etwas herb ist das Bier im Mittelteil, die Malzigkeit wirkt süffigkeitsfördernd. Malzig und süß geht es weiter in den Nachgeschmack, süß, süffig, etwas alkoholisch und fruchtig.
Danke an den Doppelbock für dieses Bier!
