1/VII/22 - on tap @ DOK Brewing Fest (Gent), BB: n/a, 2018 version (2022-811) Thanks to all for sharing the beer!

A little cloudy dark amber to red brown beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: lovely stuff! Lots of caramel malts, pleasant oxidative notes, earthy touch, some tobacco, some hard liquor. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: wow, very oxidized, bitter, some caramel, earthy notes, oxidized, nothing sweet though. Aftertaste: very bitter finish, oxidized, earthy, tobacco, a little metallic, bitter finish, a bit unpleasant. Damn, I was expecting more from the smell. I like if a barley wine has some more body and residual sugars, this one is a bit hard for me.
