Bottle pours out copper amber color topped with a sand head. Nose is barrel sweet caramel toffee and some barrel heat. Taste is more of the big sweet malts caramel toffee some barrel.
330ml bottle. Ambrata carica, torbida, schiuma bianca leggera e poco persistente. Al naso sentori di alcol, caramello, vaniglia, botte, solvente, ossidazione. In bocca è dolce all'attacco con un finale amaro abbastanza deciso, legno, astringenza. Corpo pieno, carbonazione leggera. Birra complessa, da centellinare.
Bottle a red brown colored beer with a white head aroma malts sweetness caramel dried fruits spicy and hops flavor malts sweetness caramel fruits dried fruits spicy and bitter hops
2015 bottle; must have picked up in CO? enjoyed; barley wines are usually not my thing but this was niiiiiiice. aroma of wood and spices - highest rated part of beer. cloudy amber pour. taste was mild for a bw - sweet dried fruit, caramel. nice brew!
Tap at Tap and Handle. Murky reddish brown pour with a smaller head. Caramel, toffee, dried fruit, and loads of booze. Slick and warming. Bit of veggie soup.
Tasting leftover from god knows when. Opened after having hold on to it for a long time. Pours clear, very dark copper. Small but stable white head. Smell is very fruity, mild almond, rather intense. Taste is rather bitter, sharp grainy, strong boozyness, mild fruit. Perhaps I should have aged it a few more years, to get the heat down a bit...
From a 33 cl. bottle with a bottling date of 08-05-2015. Pours a hazy mahogany with a feint off white head. Aromas of caramel and toffee. Sweet flavor with soft carbonation. Some booziness in the finish.
A BW with old hops aroma is never a good thing. Also a bit too hoppy for my tastes
At Home together with Yves amber colored body with a white head and with a malt hop fruity aroma a malt hop sweet fruity caramel alcholic bitter taste with an alcholic bitter finish
Bottle from @kavu. Pours hazy orange with low head. Aroma is whiskey, caramel malts, dry fruits. Taste is sweet, caramel malts, honey.
0,33l bottle from De Bierkoning, shared with wiosna and giochaurand @ Rantakylä. Pours clear amber with a low head. Aroma is sweet malts and whisky. Flavor is sweet malts, whisky, honey and plenty of hops. Good.
Shared with wim at his home. Dark amber colored beer with small white head and no carbonation visible. Hopped malty caramel aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is alcoholic bitter.
Nada się, ale generalnie ulepek trochę, mocno chmielowy, zdecydowanie nie typowy BW.
Thanks to Jamie for that one! Seems like I’ve been saving it for a while looking at the 08-05-2015 bottling date. Pours a very clear copper with a creamy offwhite rim for a head that leaves some lacing. Nose is of caramel, hops and generally feels like a barleywine. Some alcohol but mixed with hops essence. Taste is sweet to a medium-high level but not cloying because of that moderately high bitterness. Some hot alcohol but not even near what you could rightfully expect from a 13+% brew? Not overly american which I can appreciate. Body is medium-full, carbonation soft and mouthfeel is syrupy. A pretty good sipper! Could certainly be a couple notch down on the alcoholic side, though.
Pours murky brown with a small offwhite head which soon recedes. Aroma is caramel and vanilla. Taste is caramel sweet, oak, vanilla sweet, slightly hoppy bitter.
Light brown frothy head stayed on a still mahogany coloured body.
Huge aroma of bitter/sweet over ripe fruit, grape, mincemeat, malt, burnt sugar & caramel. Smells amazing.
Smooth on the tongue, airy & a slight tingle on the back.
Now there’s grape, sugar, plum, fig, malt, woody, sour fruits, over ripe fruit & caramel. Plenty of alcohol presence. A warming feel on the aft.
Definitely a sipper. Complex & not for the faint hearted.
Mooi amber/robijnrood bier met parelende witte schuimkraag die snel inzakt. Zoetig aroma (aardbeien, confituur, beetje kersen). Dikke structuur, vol van smaak. Zoete aanzet die overvloeit in een lange, warme, likeurachtige afdronk. (Rum)rozijntjes, likeurbonbons, rood fruit. Mooie barley wine. Rustig opdrinken is de boodschap.
March 25, 2017. Bottle at home, bottled August 5, 2015.
Light hazy reddish amber with a small dense and creamy tan head. Aroma is malty, fruity and light boozy with caramel, prunes, figs, candied orange zest, slight leathery tobacco notes,
Taste is sweet, smooth bitter and light warming.
Medium to full bodied, oily and creamy, soft carbonation. Smooth sweet finish with a light boozy note, sticky caramel notes, prunes, figs, light bitterness.
Quite nice, smooth but a bit hot.
Bottle shared by "hannont". Colour...cloudy dark amber with a thin head. Nose...loads of fruit salad aromas as well as boozy notes. Palate...full, boozy and oaky with tangy golden raisins and gripping tannins. The mid palate is very bitter and the finish is long and just as bitter with gobs of cane berries.
Rating #2351 - 2016.02.25 - Bottle shared with Barry @revolutionyyc. Hazy orange-brown pour, bubbly barely there head, quite Aroma is sweet citrus and wildflower honey - mango, peach, vanilla. Taste is an alcoholic hoppy punch, lots of bitterness tempered with sweetness, This is killer.
Borefts Beer Festival 7th edition day 2 26/09/2015. A clear deep amber orange coloured pour with a sticky off white head. Aroma is rounded caramel, nutty toffee. Flavour is composed of tangy orange, warming alcohol, toffee, latyered rounded malts. Palate is sticky, full bodied, moderate carboantion, rounded. Lingering alcohol.
Heißer Weggefährte. Immer mit einem Bein im Säuretopf. Honigsüß, Extrembitter und definitv likörnah. Wow!!!! Könnte auch gut ein lecker verhopftes American Strong Ale sein. Wald, Malz und Crazyness ohne Ende. Love it. 0,33/3,75€. Direkt aus der DEMOLEN Brauerei. 1,5 Jahre gelagert. Wie gerne würde ich noch ein Fläschchen besitzen..😵.
Bottle 33cl.
@ Zombier, Malaga, Spain.
A: Dark amber.
T: Roasted malt, caramel, spices, raisins, alcohol.
To mocny (13,4%) amerykański barlewine. Piwo powala od samego początku. Zapach to mieszanka słodkawych słodów, burbonu, jeżyn, fig i cytrusów w tle. Potężne ciało jest gęste, zbożowe, ma nuty pieczonego chleba i toffi, Na języku rozlewają się słodkie suszone owoce, wanilia, a i gorycz jest całkiem mocna. No i to jest świetne wino jęczmienne.
Bue à la pression en 10cl au Borefts de De Molen à Bodegraven
Couleur ambrée, peu de mousse et peu d’effervecence
Nez sur la vanille
En bouche attaque sur la vanille et le sucre puis viens une petite attaque désagréable sur le fumier...
Brown, crazy frothy head. Sweet, very sweet, bourbon, vanilla, fig compote. Aged to perfection, delicious. Stunning beer. Misty copper golden, creamy head. Light malty, clean but characterful fermentation, light caramel, sweet berry note. Woody in the ending. Drinks flavourful, much more powerful than expected. Bitter bite in the middle. Certainly a very modern beer, but I expected more lager qualities. Good stuff. (On tap at Borefts 2016)
Poured a deep copper color with thin, bubbles of head. Sticky sweet malty aroma. Smooth and strong barely wine, classic malty sweet but not too syrupy.
Bottle 330 ml. Amber color. Aroma: dried fruits, raisins, white port wine, sweet nectar. Taste: sweet, malty, white port, dried fruits, raisins, candied fruit.
Thanks kbudd19. Dark muddy auburn body, white head, not much retention, some lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel and dried fruit, grain, malts, bread. Taste is rich, sweet, bordering on cloying but not. Syrupy with a dry hoppy, bitter cocoa finish. Nice complex and tasty beer.
Uit de fles geschonken. Mooie barley. Smaken van mout, hop, honing, caramel, barley. De alcohol overheerst, maar dat is zeker niet storend. Mooi vol van smaak met een prettige afdronk. Mooi zoet bier met een licht bittere toon.
