Quite bland and not what I hoped for. Supposed to be a Barley Wine but I don't see that. Some caramel and honey but nothing special.

1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 Gr0ve (2039) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 16, 2012
330 ml bottle. Bottle is a year old. Dark brown colour. Cloudy. Small off-white head. Sour and funky aromas. Vermouth and other odd weird flavours. Thick and clumpy appearance. There is clearly something wrong with this beer. Feels complex and way off at the same time.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 mikeyswede (37) - Malmö, SWEDEN - DEC 12, 2012
A fresh strong Barley Wine that has very rich taste and will not make anyone dissappointed
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Vignale (1373) - Malmö, SWEDEN - DEC 7, 2012
Flaska från SB som är drygt ett år gammal. Doftar som påminner om kastanjer om hösten, mandelskal, svartpepparkorn och marsipan. Tydlig UK-humle som är örtig och riktigt pepprig, ganska besk för stilen. Rejäl kropp som är karamellsöt och alkoholvarm. Kunde säkert stått något år till. Lång eftersmak med mjuka svartpepparkorns toner. Riktigt fin.

courtesy of Per - pours a cloudy brown beer with a solid long lasting and creamy beige foam; bready with notes of almonds and marzipan; full-bodied, tasty and creamy palate; quite thick; pretty sweet and slightly bitter; very long almondy, creamy aftertaste with notes of chestnuts - very good
