3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 beerinmarch (2830) - Washington, USA - NOV 27, 2006
From the bottle pours darker copper brown, lots of little creatures floating around, with a tall strong white head. Aroma was sweet and sour, light hoppy and sweet fruity. Cherry and chocolate flavors show in the rich malts, some wild yeast give it a dry earthy qualty with a touch of sourness. Very dry spicy finish. Very enjoyable new take on "barleywine".

Pour is cloudy brown with a beige head that dissapears quickly to nothing. I get very sweet scents of caramel, brown sugar a malt. Taste is bitter sugar and spice. Feel is thin chaulky and dry finish.

Pours a hazy coppery orange color with an enormous solid orange/yellow head. Aroma of citrus, orange, a bit dusty, dark malt and alcohol. Wonderful bittersweet taste that starts off sweet with hints of peach, orange and citrus and then completely turns over into a dry bitter finish with malt notes and some hoppyness that lingers on and on. Also very well carbonated. Nice one.

Ei taivu omaan suuhuni tämän oluen nimi, mutta katsotaan taipuuko se maultaan mihinkään. Lasiin se ainakin lorahtaa, paksun näköisenä, ruskeana nesteenä ja muodostaa kelpo määrän paksua, hieman valkoisesta poikkeavaa vaahtoa. Tuoksu on banaanisen hedelmäinen, marjainen, kukkaisen humaloitu ja happamuutta huokuva. Maussa on hedelmäisyyttä, mausteisuutta ja humalan puraisua. Suutuntumaltaan ei ehkä ihan niin paksu, kuin ulkonäön perusteella olisi voinut odottaa, mutta silti reilun puraistava neste. Lasin pohjalla lilluu jotain epämääräistä. Hiivoja en toki lasiin kaatanut, kuin vasta loppuvaiheessa.

Pours a reddish, dark brown copper with a very large, thick, off-white head. Aroma is crackers, herbal, plum. Taste is sour apple, spiciness, Belgian candy sugar, dried fruit. Finish and aftertaste are strongly IJ i.e. sour apple and appleskin as well as spiciness and pepper. Very pleasant, though I did enjoy it a lot more in Zatte.

Hazy dark amber color,large off white head that had a good hang time then faded to leave a bit of a lace behind.The aroma was yeasty with some nice fruity notes some hints of spice and a bit of band-aid as well Hmmmm.The flavor was mildly malty with some flavors of dried fruit raisin maybe some plum with a slight yeasty thing going on as well as a noticeable alcohol hint in the middle,the brew seems a bit on the heavy side for me but definately goes down nicely.Pretty nice brew and well worth trying again.
