Although this is a big beer with pretty high ABV it's still very drinkable. Lots of dried fruit in the flavour accompanied by a soft bitterness. The hop is very well present in both nose and flavour yet not dominating. Finishes with a nice warming feeling in the throat.

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2018-03 getrunken. Diese kupferfarbende Ale kommt mit einen deutlichen gehopften Charakter daher. Doch mit dem hohen aber sehr gut balancierten Alkoholgehalt kommt eine schöne Alkoholische Süsse ins Ale wie sie auch manche DIPA's haben. Hinter dem Hopfen findet man Aromen von Tee und Zitronenabrieb. Das Ale macht richtig Spaß!

Almost clear amber beer, small.pale tan head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth airy malts, touch of cream, decent toffee, slightly bitterish. Light savoury vibe. Little marmalade. Soft creamy finish. Decent barleywine.

Bottled 11-10-2017. Is what promised. Some hoppy bitter, big malty background. Boozy, but easy drinking. Fruity, dried apricots. Smooth. OK!
