Aus der Flasche (bottled 2012-08-21 / 15,2% ABV) am 2016-05 getrunken. 10-5-10-5-19 Sensationell was eine 3jährige Lagerung gebracht hat. Eine Aromabombe von flüssigen Vollkornbrot mit einer deutlichen Süße und ein Hauch einer Sauerteignote. Bei der Trinktemperatur muß man aufpassen. Halbe Stunde vor dem Trinken aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen, doch wenn es zu warm wird macht sich der Alkoholgehalt schnell bemerkbar. Aus der Flasche (bottled 2016-01-15) am 2016-05 getrunken. 9-5-8-5-13 Schon jung und frisch schon gar nicht schlecht. Zur Zeit noch etwas hopfenbetont und ohne die leichte süße, die durch die länggere Lagerung noch sicher entstehen wird. Aus der Flasche (bottled 02.02.2018/bbe 02.02.2043) im 2021-05 getrunken. Dieses Batch vom B&G hat nun ein wunderbaren Reifegrad erreicht wie ich dieses Malzmonster mit seinen Getreide und feinen Trockenfruchtaromen mag. Spaß im Glas! 10-5-10-5-19

Tasted 3 times. First time it was a marvelous out of the league beer which took me 2 hours to finish. Full of flavours. 2 Of the times it was an awful smelling and tasting medicinal syrup and drain pour. So ... I hope I find the courage to buy it again and have the phenomenal tasting trip of the first time. If so, than I might change the rating and tell what it can be.

0.33L bottle. Young (4 months old). Cloudy amber to bronze colour. Small head of weak retention. Aroma: massive sweet malts, beautiful fruit esters (apples& pears, yellow plums), walnut, almonds. Full body. Flat carbonation. Medium sweet malty taste. Rich. Caramel, some toast. Big fruitiness. Raisins, dates, dried pears. The booziness is very warming yet not harsh. Light bitterness. This ale doesn't need my recomendations. Some aging would make it even better.

Quite noble barley wine. Very good.
