A medium haze on this deep amber - brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. A smooth palate, quite light all things considered, decent fine carbonation on the back end. Caramel and dark toffee malts, not that sweet. Muscular rum barrel, big tangy fruity and slightly spicy rum. A nice light oak induced vanilla on the back end. Yeah, it's really about the barrel this one and, the barrel delivers. I do hope Menno can do brews like this in Spain without all pressure of the running the De Molen brewery. Very nicely done, delicious.

Bottled 03-04-20. Bit of a dark amber colour, with some creamy foam. Big smell of dried fruits, malty, solid splash of rum. Mouthfeel is very thick, with a heavy boozyness in it. Taste is sweet, mellow, tons of raisins. Pineapple?! Christmas pudding.

Dark brown with some bubbles. Big sweet toffee, chipolatapudding, prunes, raisans, sweet and boozy, big, bold & round. This reminds me of the good years. The rum is very smooth with only a tiny tobacco/piratey feel in the finish. Good show! Dark Lord tea.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 03.04.2020 - bbe 03.04.2030) im 2020-12 getrunken. Dieses Barley Wine ist eine malzige Rosinenbombe. Den noch jungen Charakter zeigt sich etwas in seinem Reifegrad. Der hohe Alkoholgehalt ist aber sehr gut eingebunden. Hier wissen die Brauer von De Molen wie ein tolles Barley Wine schmecken muß. Tolles Ale!

Bottle. Muddy bronze pour. Aroma of nice sweet fruity rum, raisin, figs, dates, caramelised malt, molasses, vanilla and a little cinnamon-like spice. Taste has lots of sweet fruity rum booze, sticky caramel, raisin, figs, dates, caramelised malt, vanilla, little cinnamon, molasses and a long sweet boozy finish. This is the type of ba barley wine that seems to morph into a dessert wine, love it.
