Flarra stor ölprovning Wilhemshill. Häller upp kolsvart öl. Doftar och till min STOORA förvåning doftar det avslaget rödtjut ocv otäck suröl. . Jag dricker och känner rödtjut och lite fatlagring . Häller ut ölen .

Dark chestnut with a big off-white head. Rich and complex malty aroma with toffee, dried fruit and a hint of licorice. Sweet malty flavour with slightly sharp alcohol. Notes of vanilla and oak, and a drying finish

Clear red brown colour, beige head. Aroma of liquorice, caramel, cacao, chocolate, whisky, korenwijngenever, quite a pronounced spicy touch. Quite bitter flavour, wood, vanilla, malts and caramel. Creamy body. Soft, quite alcoholic finish, red fruits and lots of whisky and korenwijn.
Lovely brew!

Tap. Pours a dark brown with full head of big bubbles. Aromas of brown sugar and roasted malts but no hops. Very sweet and sugary. Flavors are dominated by brown sugar and syrup. Interested to see how it ages in bottle.

ZBF Festival 2013 - Medium brown colour. Big foamy head. No carbonation, very smooth. It’s a bit of a whiskey bomb in flavour. The finish has nice peppery spice.

Hand pump sample @ ZBF’13 shared with the RB Belgian crew. Feels like the Jenever barrel leftover used for the VSOP was dumped in this beer. Cuivrée presque ambre, trouble, col beige fin. Arôme est assez impressionnant par la dimension de barrique qui est envoutante. Le bouquet du barley wine reste là en retrait laissant pointer qcq notes de malt caramel. Palais est une toute autre expérience. Ici, j’ai l’impression que la bière a été coupée avec du whisky. La sensation de chaleur d’alcool ne joue franchement pas en faveur de cette bière. Il s’en retrouve que quasi toutes les caractéristiques de ce barley wine sont bloquées par le genièvre. Ce dernier en toute fin de bouche laisse entrapercevoir des notes de caramel, sucre brun malté pâle et grillé. Là, c’est juste de trop.

Cask sampled @ ZBF 2013. Both this & VSOP were BA in Jenever barrels, VSOP had basically zero Jenever taste & this tastes like they aged it on whisky barrels – this is a great beer but I am very confused here. Ruby hued dark brown, lightly brown, creamy beige head. Nose is sweet thick malts, soy sauce hints & frankly bourbon, charred barrels vanilla goodness,… I don’t know, creamy, toffee, caramel,… Creamy sweet thick malts, brown sugar, caramel, dark brown, sweeter brown chocolate, once again bourbon, charred oak vanilla, sorry, tastes like they put a shot of whisky in here, booze is very clear and straightforward in the end,… whisky alcohol,… dark bread, light bitterness in the finish,… Thick full, creamy and extremely confussing.

27/IV/13 - cask @ Zythos Bierfestival (2013-389) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing our beers today!
Clear deep brown beer, creamy beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet caramel, dried fruits, some mocha, chocolate, sweet touch, is it lactose?, "koetjesreep", some gingerbread spices, brown sugar. Very complex nose! MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: whisky, then more whisky, bit sweet, vanilla, bitter touch. Aftertaste: more whisky, bready, caramel, whisky again. It is very weird how the jenever barrel makes the beer taste like whisky...
