Can @ home. Very enjoyable stuff. A bit like a barleywine or quadrupel, but slightly more hop forward and less sticky sweet. Still quite sweet, don’t get me wrong, but not annoyingly sweet. Good stuff! Medium to full body, soft carbo.

Clear dark amber, light beige froth. Sweet malt aroma, some dried fruit and wood. Alcohol too. Woody, malty flavour. Burnt caramel, alcohol. Dry and bitter. Slightly alcoholic finish.

Pours a slightly murky dark copper with a couple of fingers of off-white head. Quite lively and complex aroma. Caramel malts, raisins/figs and slightly citric fruitiness, slight alcohol warminess and a bit of spiciness among a quite strong resinous feel. Taste follows the aroma, with an overall less clean and maybe less vivid profile, with some earthiness to it. Overall this is quite strong in both sweetness and bitterness. Medium to dense bodied with average carbonation. All in all an intense and quite interesting beer, though not too refined in my opinion.

Dziwne, orzechowo-karmelowo-drewniano-slodkie. Dosc lepkie i pelne. Dosc ciezkie w odbiorze. Acz ewidentnie fajne
