Dark brown color with almost no head. Very port-wineous, sweetish, cherry aroma. Quite alcoholic, very roasted-malty, coffee-liqueour, oatmeal-pudding flavor. Very full-bodied, slicky and alcoholic palate. Quite nice and full-bodied barley wine, a bit like Slottskällans Imperial Stout, or Nils Oscar Barley Wine - but with a more alcoholic feel.
