From ceramic bottle. Pours a deep, dark red. Head is off white and solid, but not thick. Aroma is of burning vegetation, with some malt and hops to hold it all together. The first sip smacks you upside the head just to say hello. The flavors start with an assault of malt, followed by the hops stampeding across your tongue. There’s a little alcohol finish. I’ll definitely have more of this after I regain my senses.

Must have gotten a bad bottle. Strong smell almost vinergary. Pour was thick and amber bordering on black. Flavor dominated by sharp burnt tones with a slight sourness. Will have to try again and rerate.

Bottled. Dark amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is Madeira wine along with some wheat and hops. Flavour is alcohol, burnt sugar, huge hops, fruits and grass with strong alcohol. Aggressive beer.

Bottled. Hazy ruby red, no head. Dry papery and alcoholic aroma. Liquerish, soft mouthfeel. Burning alcohol, licorice, lots of hoppy bitterness. Long alcoholic-burning bitter aftertaste. Still good as a barley wine - at least propably good ageing potential.

Bottled. Hazy amber. The aroma has loads of caramel hay and apricots. Sweet and full bodied with compact mouthfeel. Very hoppy with notes of pineapple and yeast, lots of toffeeish malt. Extremely bitter finish.

Caramic 75 cl. black bottle. Very deep malty aroma. Deep red-brown colour with light brown head. No visible carbonation and head dissapears a little to quick. Full nutty malty taste with LOTS of hops. I think is is too citruslike in it hops flavour, but all in all a very nice beer. Just to extreme.

tap - Pours murky brown with a very small head. It smells like most barley wines with lots of malt and some alcohol. The flavor is consistent and is too hot, in my opinion. It’s still fairly good, but quite a ways from great.
