Aroma of biscuity malts, caramel, toffee, dried fruits, wood, bourbon, light vanilla, booze. Flavour is medium to heavy sweet with a moderate bittersweet finish. Thick and a bit boozy, nicely balanced and complex.

(Bottle, probably from De Bierkoning, Amsterdam) Dark amber colour with brief, foamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, dried fruit, wood, raisins, dates, burnt sugar, burnt rubber, molasses and a whiff of alcohol. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, dried fruit, sultanas, dates, molasses, wood, vanilla, orange peel and a mild spicy bitterness in a sweet finish with a touch of warming alcohol. Full body, quite sweet. Tasty and really well balanced barley wine, with a slightly warming alcohol touch (but doesn't taste like 12%). Solid. Excellent.

Bottle, 330 ml, trade with Werckmeister. Thanks for this one! shared with JFK10000 and Max. Pours hazy deep orange, off white head. Lots of dried fruit, caramel, sweet, juicy dried fruit, some light bourbon, some wood. Low carbonation. Smooth. Full bodied. Beautiful, aged really nice.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours amber with tiny impurities and a small, off-white head. Distinct and very typical Bourbon aroma of licorice allsorts - or wood and vanilla if you prefer. Rich, sweet body, loads of vanilla and in the end quite boozy. But still super delicious. 160816

Bottle at home. Pours cloudy dark amber with almost no head. Aroma of tropical fruit, coconut, vanilla, whiskey, wine, caramel, alcohol. Taste sweet with a bitter balance. Bitter finish with some alcohol warmth.

330 ml bottle from Amersin 5, Vienna.
Dark amber-orange body, with a small, fluffy, light beige head.
Aroma of bourbon barrel, dried fruits, cherries, chocolate, toffee, some booze.
Tastes of bourbon barrel, dried fruits, citric fruits, toffee, cocoa, some vanilla, slight tobacco, booze.
Full, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes sweet, warm, quite boozy, wooden, fruity, vinous, with some dry tobacco notes.
Very tasty. Pretty sweet and boozy, but greatly balanced, never sticky or too alcoholic. Wonderfully integrated bourbon notes, with loads of various fruit notes. A really pleasant, smooth sipper!

Flaska från Saveur Bieré. Smak och doft av mörk torkad frukt, trä, karamell, kokos, vanilj med toner av citrus och Läkerol Special. Oljig, rund och len, stor maltsötma, fatkaraktär med fin beska med toner av citrus och tall. Riktigt gott!
