The soul of Barleywine channeled through vivifying bourbon barrels and blended with an alchemist's touch. Summon notes of caramel, stone fruit, brown sugar, and vanilla with each generous swirl.

0,33l can @ Musta Kynnys. Pours hazy deep chestnut with a low off-white head. Aroma is sweet toasted malts with caramel, oak, whisky. Flavor is sweet toasted malts, whisky, oak, hops. Very nice.

Sweet, caramely malty and syrupy with some stingy toffee bourbon, vanilla and earthy notes, hints of warming alcohol. Heavy but tasty.

Canned 10/25/23, drunk 11/22/23. Clear, dark amber. Dark beige head immediately to ring. Welp, that's beautiful. Perfect mix of bourbon spice and rich toffee. Such a fantastic recipe. Toffee, vanilla, red fruit, great acidity. So much aroma and balance with nothing harsh or sugary. Soft, sweet, spicy, with rich toffee and a bit of red fruit and light earthiness. Great balance, medium-full body, somehow not syrupy or too sweet. Great acidity. There's a reason why $75 12oz 4 packs of the VS version of this sell out same day.

MalmΓΆ October tasting at Palace Hall (14/10/2023) - (2022 vintage) toasted sweet malty with layers of caramel and toffee, dried fruit shred, full body, brown sugar, vanilla and bourbon coalesce into the sweet malty finish. Gorgeous.

Sweet, oily, boozy. Caramel, bourbon, vanilla, smooth and rich. Far less sharp than the previous vintages I've tried, very nice.

Stingy, resinous and woody with intense barrel notes, prunes, figs, raisins, tobacco, toffee and caramel. Aggressive but still quite balanced and tasty
