jfm (1639), Holbæk, Denmark Aug 6, 2008 Bottle. Fruit aroma. Reddish brown color with a small white head. Sweet fruit body with hints of plums and prunes. Sweet light dry fruit palate. Not bad. Mogwai (189), Askeby, Denmark Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark caramel / brown colour with a short lasting brown head. Aroma is caramel, roasted, dark fruit. Flavor is again roastedness, caramel and the alcohol is also very present. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Hansen (1780), Randers, Denmark Dec 30, 2007 A very typical barley wine. Perhaps a bit thin. Has a nice, pure maltiness. Clear and amber. Off-white head, medium lasting. TorbenH (132), Frederikshavn, Denmark Dec 28, 2007 Bottle, Small light brown head, mostly diminishing. Red-brown body. Heavy malty aroma. Heavy sweet flavor. Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 18, 2007 Hazy dark caramel. Light off-white head. Caramelly, toasty malt-oriented nose with raisin muffin nuances. Nicely hoppy in a flowery fashion, but the breadiness stays upfront, at times taking a ricey leaning. Let’s call it pooridge-like rather, but the thing is that it is unfocused in maltiness and quite oily in mouth, the whole of which feels rather heavy as alcohol fumes overtake the finish.
