12 oz. bottle poured into a chalice.

Appearance: Pours a dark brown color, slightly ruby in the light. Off-white head is small but dense; leaves a bit of lacing as well.

Smell: Earthy aroma, with some caramel and alcohol.

Taste: Strong caramel component. A little whisky-barrel action going on, but not much peat. Somewhat bitter finish and aftertaste.

Mouthfeel: Generally smooth, with light carbonation and light- to medium-bodied.

Drinkability: Not much alcohol in the taste, thankfully, but somewhat tiring.

A decent barleywine - quite smooth, but the flavor becomes a bit tiring to me. Love the label, though!!

Sep. 2011: 330 ml bottle, batch # 096(?, print unclear), Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 11.5%. Chestnut colour, large cream-coloured head. Medium strong aroma of peat-smoked malts, not much else comes through. The flavour is medium sweet with notes of peat smoke and ashes, moderate hops in the finish. A bit one-dimensional. Why the heck must a delicate hop like Nelson Sauvin fight an impossible battle with Laphroaig peat-smoked malts?

Thanks to leftpaw for bringing this to a March Madness bottle share a few years ago. Pours brown, dark caramel with rust kind of color and a lot of sediment or something that isn't entirely liquid floating throughout the beer. Aroma was maris otter, unsweeteened cola, hops and their bitterness.

Taste, actually enjoyable, substantial bitterness, alpha hops, this seems like an American barleywine blasted through and American double india pale ale. The caramel keeps coming at you like a PacNW ipa from yesteryear with a bunch of Cascade like hops. There is also a dark fruit like presence as if there was a quad yeast or something used here. Interesting mix of stuff from different styles going on here. Lots of alcohol, its a cold night sipper or something you should share with a few people. Good in small quantities, but after that it got to be somewhat challenging to finish.

Interestingly I had this the same evening I had tactical nuclear penguin. It's peaty, smokey and boozy. Like a less boozy TNP. I think those who didn't like it were expecting your typical barrel aged beer. This one is different, worth trying and better than advertised.

Not worth the money. Good quality - bad taste.
