2016 Edition--12.5% ABV. Big, sticky, gnarly wheatwine, a giant bourbon bomb packed with caramel and vanilla and brown sugar, starting sweet but slowly morphing into a fruity, boozy Belgian brute of a pint. Apple, dried apricot, fig, and sweet cherry show up towards the middle, while the back grows heavy with liquor and oak. Vanilla and clove accent the bourbon in the finish, while the fade is warm and sweet. A tad too sugary for my tastes, but I haven't stopped drinking this pint yet, so what do I know? Pours a thick, oozing amber-gold with a thin white head and spotty lacing. Full body has a tinge of heat, but it's a 12.5% beer, so why shouldn't it? Nose is more Belgian strong ale than barleywine. Not bad, but one pint's plenty.

Aus der Flasche im 2017-12 getrunken. Eine sehr süffige Version eines Barley Wines. Dadurch das es so gut mit seinen Aromen und Alkoholgehalt balanciert ist, so wirkt es beim 5 Schluck wie eine wunderschöne Beliebigkeit. Hier sticht nichts heraus, was ein Stärke oder Schwäche sein könnte. Es ist einfach ein richtig tolles Bier.
