2014 Vintage Bottle at home, bought from Biervana, drank on the brew date, 3 days on, 6th December 17. Pours a copper colour, no head. Aroma is prune, dark fruit, some booze. Taste is prune juice, sweet, bitter caramel, dark fruit, raisins, booze, but drinks below the 14%. Great beer, more of a barley wine than anything else.

Shared 11.2 oz. bottle. 2014 edition. Pours amber with a listless small off-white that quickly fades away. Aroma is ultra-sweet with caramel malt, licorice, dark candied fruits, and alcohol. Taste is similar - extremely cloying, malty, molasses, candied fruits, sugar and alcohol. Very sweet, malty, syrupy and alcohol-laden finish with little bitterness. Tough to finish even half a bottle. Not my cup of tea. Would have probably paired well with the drain of my sink.
