Pours dark, cloudy, tastes like coffee at first with a bitter chalky residue which later allows some of the flavors to take shape on the tongue. Aftertaste is grape soda-like. This only sat on my shelf for a week so it may age better.

Brown muddy look with slight brown head. Aroma of roasted sweetness. Flavor is more hoppy, than sweet for the style. Some kind of roasty bitterness which suits this beer great. A true quality beer. A stouty barley!!

Bottle. Reddish amber with orange head. Some caramel and hops in the flavour. Very bitter hops, but the sweetness from the malt gives it some balance. This beer should be stored for some years. I think it will be a lot better them.

Pours a very slight if but no head. The Aroma is awesome, you can easily depict the chocolate and dark fruits. Pouring a nice dark brown to orange brown color. The taste is very complex, with a coffee, caramel, slightly after taste of chocolate on the back of your pallete. Palate duration is perfect, absolutely awesome. Its best aged to one year. This bottle was a 2006 and unknown of exact age.

Amber brown with a little off white head. Sweet malty caramel, dark fruits & alcohol. A good round well balanced barley wine with plenty of hops!
