Copenhagen 1/9 2021. 33 cl bottle from Ølkassen web-shop. Leaves and strange etchings in shades of grey and a slice of silvery sky on the label.

Pours unclear, murky dark brown with a red hue. Small off-white head. Settles as a thin rim of foam running along the side of the glass. No lacing.

Aroma is fairly intense with a sugary sweet odor of malts mingling with liqueur-like alcohol. Toffee and brown sugar. Almond liqueur and marcipan.

Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, greasy, almost flat texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a strong sweetness followed by a moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet. Lingers for a long while. Finish is semi-dry.

Heavy, sweet, boozy and on the verge of being cloying. As a Barley Wine should be.

A Czech look on this style.
Clean amber with a big foamy head
Noble hops on the nose with weed and resinal notes. Toffee.
The taste follows with some prune and date notes, a bit of disturbing esters. A bit bitter with a noble hops bitterness.
Quite dry for the abv.
Original take but not quite a barleywine. Like an amber imperial pilsner or a dry hoppy belgian strong ale
