Grand cru versie van de Nieuw Ligt. Eenmaal per jaar brouwen wij deze extra sterke variant en deze leggen wij een aantal jaar weg om te rijpen.

Aan ieder om te bepalen wanneer deze gedronken wordt, maar wij raden aan om te wachten tot 5 jaar na bottelen.

Bottle, courtesy of martinus, many thanks. Vintage 2010. Dark amber color with minimal white head. Sweet aroma of candies, bubble gum, caramel, port, raisins, tropical fruits. sweet malty taste with honey, bee wax, raisins, dried fruits, sweet malts. Sweet finish. Alcohol is dangerously hidden. Little bit sweet for me, but overall tasty barley wine.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber orange with an orange head that starts at the edges and dissipates completely. Aroma has lots of caramel and grain notes with a bit of backing toffee. Flavor has a good amount of toffee and grain with hint of warming alcohol and just a touch of caramel.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s - London. Many thanks to Jack for snagging this 2009 vintage - I’m sure he had to jump through hoops to get Kris to sell it to him. It’s a boozy beer, lots of heavy malts, caramel. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, further rich semi-dark malt character, dark and ripened fruits. Fair.

Bottle at Bruce’s, thanks to Jacko. It pours lighly hazy deep amber with a small white head. The nose is toast, toffee, ginger, fudge and butterscotch. The taste is gingerbread, earth, good bitterness, mild resin, caramel, alcohol and medicinal notes with a dry, alcoholic fiish. Medium to full body and lowish carbonation. Prett hot. Ok, but nothing special.

33cl bottle (houdbaar tot in den eeuwigheid, aldus l’etiket) shared with Dutchdrebus. Red colored like a barley wine should be. No head really. Not much aroma other than malts, some sweetness and alcohol. Taste malts, lots of alcohol, sweetness. Unbalanced imo. A bit dry finish, medium to full body, low to medium carbonation.
