Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is sweet malt with caramel, "appelstroop", sharp whiskey, wood, soft roast, chocolate, dried fruits, green apple, alcohol, and some paint thinner. Flavour is sweet with a mild bitterness and some booze in the finish. Body is full. Decent Barley Wine but it's too bad about the sharpness and green apple notes. A bit of a disappointment after the refined 18.09.

Can on 20th Anniversary Day. Almost black with a thin, tan head that soon fades. Aroma of raisins, oak, prunes and toffee. Taste has a slight tartness on a mildly sweet base. Thicker and richer at the end with an uptick of toffee. Full bodied, very mild carbonation. Pleasant sipping.

33cl can de Malt Attacks.
Noire/brune foncée, col fin blanc-cassé, doré au verre.
Arôme fin de barrique laissant un léger rétro de tourné et de fumée, malts cara, fruits noirs et secs.
Palais est boozy mais plaisant, malté grillé, fruits noirs, pointe de fume et tourbe, sec en fin de bouche et tirant alors vers un effet cendre. Ajout de Sorachi plaisant pour apporter une balance des houblons, caramel revient en retrait.

A very peculiar set of flavours going on here. Lots of whisky apples from the Kees barrels, pretty boozy barleywine, something sweet, and for some reason an enormous amount of salty licorice flavours. Completely unbalanced, but somehow it comes together.

Can. Dark amber color. Malt, dried fruit and whisky in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor, almost vinous, vanilla, whisky, toffee. Hint of oak. Complex, likeable.

Many thanks to kappldav123 for sharing this can! Deep fruity thick nose of dried raisins with malts. The beer starts fruity with a deep and roasted smooth woody back. Raisins, wood. The beer is malty and well-balanced with the hints of alcohol and the nice fruity dark molasses raisin wood there. Nice one.

Dose: Almost black, presumably clear, small but lasting off-white to amber head, solid sweet nose of wood and vanilla, molasses and port-wine, a bit boozy; solid sweet flavour with a slight bitterness, full bodied - what else, but not that soft; lingering fruity-chocolatey finish (Mon Cherie) with boozy traces in the aftertaste. Another light thirst-quencher...
