Аромат винный, немного солодовый. Цвет потрясающий, глубокий и богатый, хорошая пена. Вкус винный, сухо фруктовый, ягодный. Послевкусие немного яблочное и квашеное.

$4 bottle from Appalachian. Old rate for this somewhere but this is labeled as a 2022 blend. Big, cascading, sticky oatmeal head. Malty, oatmeal, Nilla wafer nose, very slight twang. Sweet heavy cream & cherry jus. Low acid, slight tartness, vinous middle, soft brown, very bruin, rich & thick, gentle tartness on the finish. Super smooth. Everlasting frothy, built in & warming abv. Less complex then I remember but a very, very nice beer. Notes from May 2011 375ml bottle I've had stuck on the door of the mini fridge for a couple years. 2006 printed on the cork. Sweaty bottle poured into an Ommegang anniversary glass. Slimy, but otherwise sound cork. Deep, amber/brown color. An uncharacteristically steady hand results in a bright pour. No head. Scary-looking debris left clinging to the neck of the glass. Smells like a prune-y barleywine. Toffee & a little compost. Maple. Cooked fruit. A fair bit of oxidation. A caramelized sour brown. Subtle cherry fruit. Raisins. An almost onion-like sweetness. Lemon. Barely a hint of vinegar. Oxidation seems more like stale candy then newspaper. Carbonation is on the stronger side. Body is a little light. Alcohol is somewhat of a nuisance. I have yet to have the latest reincarnation of Goudenband, but from what I remember, this bottle has lost a few steps since it was new. It seems the new stuff has been pretty well received though, so until then...
