From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is caramel malt, sweet dried fruits, toffee, touch of raisins, resin, bit syrupy, bit sweaty and funked up. Flavour is fairly sticky sweetness. Body is medium. Syrupy and resinous dried fruits, sweet malts... Not bad.

2015 vintage, Op tap bij Uiltje Bar. Diep donkerbruine kleur, beige kraag. Aroma van vijgen, rozijnen, hint van pijptabak, iets hoppig nog, alcohol. Smaak is vrij zoet maar ook behoorlijk bitter, vol, dadels, rozijnen, tabak, iets hoppig, hint van hout, bittere finish. Volle body. Goed.

Draught at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Brown barleywine from an American craft brewery I never heard of. Lacing, moussy, creamy, pale greyish beige head, thinning quickly in the middle but retaining on the edges; cloudy chestnut brown with coppery hue. Intense but unexpected aroma of oatmeal porridge, fermenting cereals, butter, damp earth, strong rotting medlar, soggy gingerbread, vanilla sugar, marmelade, fresh figs, blue plum, lychee, raisins, brown rum, sweet Brazil cigars, stewed beef, Shropshire cheese. Fig- and mushy banana-like fruit sweetness in the mouth, lots of medlar again, sourish berry touch, even a vague hint of passion fruit (maracuja), but feeling a little bit infected, with slightly drying effect; softish carbo, soft, creamy and ’moelleux’ mouthfeel, fudge-like and caramelly in taste with a soft bitterish toasted edge in the end, some lingering ’meaty’ umami, spicy hop bitter accent, warming rum-like alcohol. Weird yet fascinating, possibly slightly infected with unusual aroma and taste hints, but generally very pleasant, though clearly atypical for the style; feels more like a very strong and ’Americanized’ English brown ale in both flavor and texture.

Draft at Beer Temple. Very hazy amber with an off white head. Aroma has a weird funkiness, a little horsey and off with resinous notes and caramel. Flavour is light heavy sweet and light sour. Above medium bodied with soft carbonation. Surely infected in some way.
