bel ambrato buona schiuma buona persitenza noso prima luppolato 8intenso resinoso americano poi un po di fruttato dolce di malto e caramello in bocca l’alcool non si fa sentire morbida vellutata e quoasi bilanciata

(Bottle at Pikkulintu) Poured deep amber and almost clear with small and white head. Aroma contained extreme sweetness, malts, molasses and treacle. Palate was full bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, mild sweetness, roastedness, hops, molasses and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and mildly bitter.

2010-01-30. Dark orange amber body with a foamy off-white head. 3+ Modest hoppy aroma, light citrus, mild alcohol. 7+ Flavour by pleasant hoppy bitterness throughout. Mild alcohol is surprisingly restrained - I was shocked when I saw the alcohol content. Average plus bodied palate. Pretty nice, dangerously drinkable. This was bought in September so I suspect the hops might have had more oomph younger but it was still rather tasty. Bottle from Liquor Stop, Indiana

Bottle from st fun. A nice, smooth barley wine. No finishing bitterness like you see in some American bw’s. Oats must add a creamy finish.

Bottle. Pours amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, fruit and woody pine hops. The flavour is caramel malt, fruit and piney hops. Good balance. Some warmth from the alcohol. Smooth mouthfeel and finishes with a hoppy kick. Big American style barley wine...very nice.

Big, solid bad ass beer. Reasonably light (not overpoweing like a barleywine). Alchol is well masked and the nose and in the mouth. Toffee and caramel pervade and it goes down pretty easy. Thanks to nate for sharing this one around!

22 oz bottle. Pours a dark copper body with a slight yeast haze under a frothy tight bubbled off-white head that left tons of sticky lacing. The nose is pretty well balanced, huge resiny hops and tons of sticky caramel malt. Hefty toffee and moderate alcohol on the finish. Big bitterness on the flavor up front yields to the sweet caramel and toffee mid swallow. Finishes with resiny sticky hops and fairly hot alcohol. Between the resiny hops and the heavy malt, this is really thick and very sticky, like a few other 3F beers I can think of. Very warming on the back end with soft carbonation that doesn’t quite cut into the body quite well enough. This was OK, but it’s a little too harshly bitter and hot. Tis the objective I guess, but it’s not for me.

22 oz. bottle via trade with StFun - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Light spotty lacing. Aroma is toasted malt, esters, and floral hops. Flavor is lightly sweetened toasted malt, fruity esters, and hops. Medium to full body. Very nice. Thanks Josh.
