7.9/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 7.5 Texture 9 Overall 8
Vintage 2016. 9 years agging in my cellar and 9 month in oak barrel from Port wine. Malo piany, w zasadzie wiecej pecherzykow w pianie ktora chce powstac ale nie bardzo daje rade. Czerwona, dosc ciemna z pomieszanym jasnym brazem. Aromat suszonych owocow i to zdecydowanie. w smaku suszone figi, daktyle, morele skapane w porzeczkowo sliwkowym musie. nieco spadziowo-orzechowe w koncowym odbiorze. Barley wine zdecydowanie klasyczne i bez udziwnien czy eksperymentow, czysta klasyka

Bottle. Deep brown pour, quickly disappearing off-white head. Nose is malts, nuts, chocolate, dried fruits. Taste is sweet notes of fruits, chocolate, booze and malts. Closes with a long sweet finish, has light to medium body (drinks well below the ABV) and soft carbonation. The port gives a nice fruity touch to the taste, it's a nice sipper altogether.

11.11.2018, 0,33l bottle @ Pien Shop & Bar:
Tiny fizzy shortlasting head, hazy dirty amber color. Aroma is slightly rich and dry boozy, dark chocolate, oak, dark malts, dried dark fruits, hay, toast, toffee, cognac, bark, dark sugar, fruit stones, hay, chocolate pudding. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish boozy, oak, fruit stones, bark, cognac, dark chocolate, dark sugar, toast, minerals, grass, cocoa, salty licorice, dried dark fruits, soil. Longlasting dry bitterness, slightly harsh boozy mouthfeel. Fair enough, too dry and boozy.
