Deep dense nose. The beer starts soft and easy to drink. more dry and dense in the mainpart - dry grain, a bit sticky, roasted toffee. Hints of alcohol, dry wood, grainy bitterness in the end. Very deep, nice.

Bottle from BrewDog online store Quite different barley wine to what I tried so far. Offers a bourbon feel with a touch of vanilla. I've quite enjoyed it

Bottle. Deep dark brown color. caramel, licorice, tropical fruit, roast and grassy hops in the aroma. Malty sweet but also firmly hopped flavor. Grass, citrus, ripe fruit, ash, roast and licorice. Tobacco. Straightforward but also complex and layered. Nice.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with small to average, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Chocolately and caramel malty aroma, notes of almond, liquorice, herbal hoppy counterpart. Taste is bitter, roasty, chocolately and caramel malty, notes of caramel, hints of toffee, almond, dark chocolate, liquorice; lingering bitter, spicy, liquorice finish. Full body, oily texture, soft and minimally sticky palate, fine, refreshing carbonation. Intense, but well balanced, quite homogeneous, harmonious, holistic - undetectable, fully integrated oak and vanilla.
