Rood/bruin gekleurd bier met een kleine witte kop.

Erg makkelijk drinkbaar ondanks de +11%alc.
Bottle. Clear amber body with a lacing beige head. Strong, nice aroma of dry fruit, caramel and warming vinous alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit, warming alcohol and vinous. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Solid, tasty and very nice Barley wine.
KØLF 100818. Red brown color with a beige head. Aroma is caramel, nuts, alcohol, dried fruits. Flavor is caramel, nuts, alcohol, pine, dried fruits, raisin, sugar. Full body. Nice beer.
Okropny karmel i alkohol w smaku i aromacie, ciężkie do picia. Może było zbyt świeże?
Very thick and rich barley wine, full of caramel, raisin and nut flavours as is expected with this type. Should actually score higher than it is right now.
From tap. Pours cloudy dark brown. Small tan head. Aroma is toasted malty. Swet, dense malty. Overripe fruity. Raisins. Dry malty. Bitter and dry toasted finish.
11.11.2017, 0,33l bottle shared with friends @ local tasting:
Nice fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet boozy, caramel malts, grass, minerals, hay, nuts, alcohol, almonds, raisins, bark, toast. Taste is slightly sweet mineraly, caramel malts, nuts, bark, minerals, booze, burnt toast, almond essence, grass, hay, raisins. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh boozy mouthfeel. Fair enough, but not really my cup of tea.
Slightly misty brown amber with tan head slowly resting into a thin layer. Aroma of dark roasted malts, caramel, toffee, rumcake, dried fruits like raisins and plum. Yummy!! Awesome taste of dried fruits, caramel and the dark malts. Lovely sweet back in the throat finish. Medium, leaning over to full body with carbo that touches perfection. Yes, great!! Compliments to the brewers!!!
Goede, stevige Barley wine die ondanks zijn 11,8 graden vlot binnengaat.
Vooral smaken van gedroogde vruchten (zeer sterke rozijnensmaak), lichte karamel, licht bittere afdronk.
Tap @Het Arendsnest, together with BeerGangsta. Hazy deep amber brown, small frothy beige head, light lacing; aroma roasted malts, cinnamon, caramel, dried fruits; taste light heavy sweet and medium bitter, malty, caramel, fruity, some alcohol; sweetbitter aftertaste, bit boozy but not too obtrusive; medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation; very nice, tasty, easy to drink.
Bottle. Reddish-amber color, slightly yellowish foam. Aroma: dried fruits, raisins, plum wine, esters, sherry. Taste:, wine, raisins and candied fruits, sweet, sherry, bitter finish, warming.
Tap @ De Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 15/09/17. Aroma is strong caramel, some dried fruit. Taste is strong caramel, some stone fruit, raisin.
On tap at Arendsnest Amsterdam. Sweet. But also hoppy. Modern style barley wine very hoppy on finsh. Jammy. Plum and grapefruit. Good varley wine. Full satisfying. Not too hot. Very impressive. Love the victoria plum flavour. Too notch. Plum jam. Really liked it. Had a Proustian rush to my mums homemade plum jam. Minus the hops obviously.
Bottle. Color: Ruby, fast disappearing light brown head. Taste: Dark red fruit, raisins, hints of caramel, licorice, wood and earth. Bit boozy. Some sweetness at start, but soon going to more bitterness. Bit harsh, lacking balance.
Vom Fass auf den Berliner Braufest 2016-09 getrunken. Sehr im dunklen Belgischen Stil. Ist wahrscheinlich noch viel zu jung und kommt mir daher wie ein Quadrupel vor. Eine Themaverfehlung - aber eine Gute.

Pittige barley wine maar ondanks zijn 11.8 % niet mega alcoholisch. Heeft ook wat stoutigs en dat is jammer. Al met al prima bier.
. 4l on tap @ Explosive. Pours dark mahogany red with low head. Aroma is dried fruits, warm alcohol, malts, salty liquorice, hint of gummy bear. Flavor is mostly same with syrup and plums. Nice.
Durchaus runder Barley Wine mit deutlich erdiger Englandausrichtung. Hat zwar auch eine subtile Hoppyness, dominiert wird der Ami allerdings von einer latenten Bananakaramelsweetness with a touch of Aprikose & Kraut 😉. Ansonsten stiltypisch schwer und ein gelungener Tastingausklang....wenn man auf dem Sofa einschlafen möchte 😁..0,33l Bottle from the Brewery in Haarlem, NL.
Deep dark amber, small light beige cap. Grapefruit and sweet malt on the nose. Mild herbal hops, some faint bruised banana, overripe peaches, candied fruit, sweet homemade wine, thick caramel. Faint nail polish. The taste is really interesting. The hops and the yeast make up a great mix of herbs and pine on one side, and a lot of mixed fruit on the other. All on top of a great malt backbone, sweet, but not sugary in the slightest, bringing a lot of good stuff on its own. I’ll just enumerate for a bit: biscuit, toffee, butterscotch, coffee candy; ribwort, crunchy tall grass, pine resin, fresh tobacco; grapefruit, Chinese plum, peach, apricot, blackcurrant. Solid, well-deserved bitterness in the finish. Aftertaste has lingering caramel maltiness and bits of dried dark fruit, with some mild leafy hop bitterness, too. Full body, palate coating without being too sticky. "Fluffy". Alcohol’s enriching, never a burden. A really great balanced barleywine, dangerously easy to drink. I’m glad i don’t have any more bottles around. Well, might get some more tomorrow, tho...
Bottle. Sensoric. Burnt caramel with small, light brown, semi-thick head. Poor head retention and lacing. Light to moderately fruity. Slightly herbal. Moderate to light heavy malty aroma - candy, caramel. Nice, moderate bubble-gum like notes. Taste is moderately sweet and moderately bitter - pretty well balanced and stable. In overall nice, packed with malts, but not extremely sweet, well ABV hidden. For English BW it’s too bitter.
Donker amberkleurig, crèmekleurige schuimkraag die redelijk vlot inzakt, ongefilterd, veel gist, troebel, iets koolzuur.
Aroma: Iets zoetig, moutig, karamel, toffee, kruidig, fruitig, citrus en wat hoppig, pijnboom.
De hops vecht zich door de mouten heen.
Smaak: Vol moutig, karamel en toffee zoet, aarde, pijnboom, hars, grassig..... voldoende gehopt. In de nasmaak een flinke bitterkick met prikkelige en netelige hinten. Het blijft evengoed wel flink zoet en plakkerig.
Volle body, olieachtig en romig mondgevoel. Afdronk is zoet, plakkerig en fruitige hops.
Voor 11.8 % drinkt hij gevaarlijk makkelijk weg.
Redelijk matig aroma. In de smaak veel gist, appelsienzeste en kruidigheid. In de afdronk italiaanse bitters.
American barley wine de 11,8 % abv et 48 ebu.
Mon exemplaire avait 22 mois de bouteille.
Couleur lie de vin, fort appropriée (ebc 82), avec pas mal de levure en suspension.
Mousse qui est un nappage beige soyeux, stable à 1 mm.
Arômes de fût de vin jeune, résine, pointe d’airelle, groseilles blanches.
1ère bouche souple au remarquable ensemble très équilibré.
Arrière-bouche sur le fût et le vin (quel sens de l’à-propos ..).
2ème à la très belle fusion vin/résine.
Arrière-bouche longue, bien nuancée.
3ème aux excellentes nuances, avec une très grande douceur et un fantastique équilibre.
Arrière-bouche longue, complexe.
Longueur qui retravaille tout cela avec un sens du détail remarquable.
Jambes fines, huileuses, longues.
Levure fine, aux cent nuances, très grande ligne.
Alcool parfait, il travaille les saveurs avec une finesse d’orfèvre.
Finale qui ne pourrait dépareiller chez un collectionneur de grands vins.
CONCLUSION : quand on dit barley wine, on dit une bière dont le style se rapproche le plus d’un
vin .. et pour cette bière, je crois qu’elle ferait rougir d’envie pas mal de viticulteurs !!! Mais ils ont
choisi .. laissons-les à leurs manœuvres !! Oh buurman, que fais-tu avec ton vin ??
Butelka. W aromacie mało intensywne nuty owocowe, delikatna czekolada, karmel. Profil pół słodki. W smaku zdecydowanie więcej owoców, karmel, toffi. Nagazowanie wysokie, goryczka niska. Pijalność znakomita, alk. b.dobrze ukryty.
Zawodzi na całej linii aromat - mało intensywny i pusty.
December 2016 - Bottle share at Leighton’s. Thanks LKS! As ’Het Uiltje Oh Buurman Wat Doet U Nu?!’, 11.8%, nearly 3 years old Reddy brown, some floating sediment, foamy tan head. Aroma is a bit harsh – some booze and varnish showing up, also redcurrant. Body is smooth with soft carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet, toffee, more redcurrant, spicy and dry into the finish with some varnish harshness. Decent enough. (3.2)
Kolor ciemnobursztynowy. Aromat bardzo słodki, pełny. Czuć toffi, czekoladki, nuty chmielowe. W smaku również pełny, oblepiający. Jest karmel, toffi, rodzynki. Dość wysoka chmielowa goryczka
