Can 0,33 ltr: Very dark brown coloured brew with an very dark red glow. Heavy sweet taste with an lingering Knockando whisky burn. Hints of caramel, cinnamon, vanille, apple and nuts.

Poured from 330mL can (bb 11/2024). Near black with small beige head. Wood glue aroma, whiskey barrel, mild floral perfume, lots of slightly burnt molasses on the taste. Just okay, a bit messy.

Pours dark brown, slightly reddish, with a fine head of light brown foam. Smells heavy whisky, some fruityness. Pretty sharply boozy at first, slowly smoothing out. Good bitterness, nicely malty, and plenty of whisky. Pretty licorice'y, a touch of peat.

Si je ressors souvent déçu de ces Barrel Project de chez Kees, ce Dark Barley Wine vieilli en fût de Knockando brille par ses arômes très agréables et par son équilibre, à la fois structurelle mais également sur le barriquage. Et si la complexité n'est peut-être pas au top, le plaisir est très nettement au rendez-vous. Le visuel est sur un brun foncé quasi noir sans mousse et avec une faible effervescence. Le nez, très agréable est sur les fruits confits, le candy, caramel, le whisky et le fût. L'ensemble fonctionne parfaitement. On retrouve le même cocktail dès l'attaque avec des épices. Mais ce qui retient l'attention c'est un vieillissement parfaitement opéré permettant aux arômes de whisky d'être chaleureux et vif tout en respectant les arômes de la base. Quant à la base, l'équilibre sucre/amertume/alcool est parfait permettant cette densité des barley wines sans lourdeur en bouche. La seconde-bouche qui continue sur cette alliance prend une très belle ampleur en bouche alors que l'arrière-bouche, plus sur l'alcool est très chaleureuse. Le final, long et brillant finit par nous ravir. Kees pourrait penser à ne pas en faire qu'un projet...

330mL can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma reveals some rather harsh whiskey barrels, brown sugar, and perfumey character. Flavour is quite sweet, with lots of perfumey whiskey, sweet caramel, and brown sugar. The whiskey barrel does not taste high quality -- there's a pronounced perfumey character than isn't all that pleasant. And the sweetness is almost cloying. This isn't too good.

330ml fromThe Gull (thx, Alex!) @ home. Appearance: almost black with a beige head. Aroma: roasty, some strange ethers, probably coming from the barrel. Taste: sweet, good body, tons of ethers. A bit smoky and roasty aftertaste. Overall: body and appearance arevery nice, but aroma and taste are just ok.

Jet black and brown with a rich light brown head. Insanely boozy, green apple, blond woods and rum raisin. Much like the nose with some chocolate and some coffee bean in the finish. Love the whisky, but this is a bit overboard.

330 ml can. Pours a dark brown with full head. Aromas of oaky scotch and sweet malts. Strong scotch flavors, with green oak, caramel, brown sugar and soft toasted malts. Sour malty finish.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver, tasted side by side with the 19.10
The colour is almost black, it seems more viscous and less carbonated. Strong aroma, cacao, cherries, alcohol, dirt, light chemicals. Full bodied, sweet, some cacao flavour; possibly some Brett, unless it's a very weird whiskey; the final shows some chemicals.
Drinkable, but it's an odd experience.
