Can from Etre. Brilliant dark brown with garnet edges and a thin off white head that dissipates quickly. Rich bready toasty toffee maltiness with plenty of dried fruits earthy hops and moderate warming alcohol. Really nice sipper!

Can from Deconinck. As 'Barley Wine'. Hazy reddish amber, thin, off-white head. Aroma of candied date, fig, pear syrup, caramel, ripe plum, liquorice, sweet cherry, sugared yoghurt. Taste has very sweet date, cherry & raisin in a thick, syrupy, caramelly body, reminiscent of actual candy almost; some bittersweet liquorice & spicy aniseed in the middle. Ends herbal hoppy, quickly overpowered again by concentrated candy, syrup & dried fruits, but the aniseed element is rather strong here too, hence the 'pastis'-like alcohol warmth. Medium body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Reading some older ratings, I can't help but guess that the recipe changed a bit. I miss a more balancing hoppiness and the aniseed hint makes it too tiring to drink. So, good, but for a short while.

Blik thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een roodbruin bier met een volle schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige en fruitige geur. De smaak is vol, moutig, fruitig, zacht zoet en alcohol achtig.

Palate was full bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, grass, molasses, prunes, berries and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A pleasant malty brew with the notes of molasses and prunes.

33 cl can poured in to a Snifter. Deep red mahogany colour with a thin lightly tanned head. Really good looking. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, overripe fruits, figs and dates. Taste is sweet. Full bodied. Slightly drying fruity finish with rich caramel malts and fruits. Enough hops to balance the sweetness. Nice.

On tap at Arendsnest in Amsterdam. Pours a murky dark brown with an almost white head. Aroma is very complex: dark fruits, mead, liquor. Taste is the same + slight hoppy bitterness. Caramel plus hoppy bitterness aftertaste. Excellent!
