Bottled at O’Connor’, Uppsala. Clear mahogany colour, no head. Strong fruity bourbon aroma. Sweet, full bodied. Juicy, very malty. More fruit than vanilla, sost with arousing alcohol. Port like finish. Intense, good!

0.18l bottle shared with The Crew. A clear caramel brown body with a small almost not worth mentioning bubbly head. Aroma has lots of honey! Sweet heather honey and tones of straw, nuts, dates, rum raisins, alcohol and some woody chocolate hints. Really nice! Slick and sticky mouthfeeling and not much carbonation. Lovely sweet flavors; dates, honey, alcohol, deep candy sugar and lots of crystallized sticky caramel blended with chocolate-tones. Fantastic stuff in this little clear bottle (why a clear bottle on this kind of beer?)

Dark brown color, small white head. Vanilla and bourbon, maybe some licorice. Full-bodied. Sweet, toffeish flavour, some licorice. Strong bourbon-vanilla too. Straight-forward barley wine, very sweet.

Bottled (thanks Recep!). Copper colour, no head. Aroma is fruits, wood, resin, some alcohol and mild notes of fruity notes. Flavour is caramel, toffee, mild resin, wood, alcohol and some slight spicy and vanilla with some slight burnt muscovado notes. Balanced and quite nice.

Oh HELL yea!!!! Thanks to darkguardian for sharing this gem. Murky brown pour with no head. Booze, dark fruit, caramel malt, and vanilla aromas. Wow, what a bad ass barley wine from De Molen with all the usual suspects caramel malts, brown sugar, dark fruits, and a little cinnamon added to the mix for good measure. AWESOME.....

Update: 14 Nov ’12:
Had this again during the ZZT V afterparty and discovered it much deserves a better rating. Appearance is the same. The aroma’s of bourbon and wood (a bit cognac like) blend well with the sweetish body, and there aren’t so many of the madeira aromas. It’s quite a difference with the beer I had before. Like!
Original Rating
Orange brown beer, very slight white/yellow head. Aroma of caramel, madeira, port, raisins and malts. Flavour sweet. raisins, madeira, figs. Finish starts sweet and leads to a slight bitterness. Hides the ABV well.
The bottle was somehow mistaken for a triple. The strong madeira was a huge surprise. Took us some time to realise this error: as the abv is so well hidden, our first thoughts were of long aging.
(Bottle @ Café Jos, Nijmegen)

18cl bottle at Kulminator. Clear glass with red wax. Kind of weird. Pours a transparent copper brown with a thin, yellow head. Nose is really boozy, smokey, rubber, maple, wood, sherry, port, nail polish remover. Flavor is really strong, sweet, caramel, apples, port, maple sap, candy sugar, candied oranges, finish is full bodied but smooth. I thought this would be a booze bomb but it was balanced in the flavor, just not the nose.

Bottle, 18cl. Unclear, dark golden to copper body with a minimal sized off-white to beige head. Vanilla, sugary sweetness, alcohol, bourbon of course, caramel hints and some dried fruits on the nose. Too sweet on the palate, almost sugary, with bourbon, dried fruits like apricots, coconut hints and some more sugar. Full body, almost flat, and not as warming as the ABV suggests. Nice, not wonderful. 110917
