Bottle at a tasting. Lots of coconut, dried fruits, raisins, woody, toasted, light tobacco, explosion of wonderful aromas and flavours. Sweetness nicely balanced by alcohol warmth and woody notes. Easy drinking, relatively. Truly excellent.

A brown beer with an off-white head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, malt, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, and over ripe fruits, leading to a bitter finish.

33cl bottle. Brown pour with a very thin tan head that disappears in a minute. Smells like bourbon, maple syrup, burnt caramel, vanilla, toasted coconut, caramelized cherries, chestnuts and alcohol. The taste is dominated by bourbon, with notes of milk chocolate, chestnuts, dried fruit, maple syrup and caramel, whiskey and cherries. Thick, smooth and silky texture with virtually no carbonation and a hot and caramel-sweet finish.

33cl bottle. Thanks Jookos! Pours dark mahogany with a thin off white head. Woody aroma, strong Bourbon notes, toffee, soaked raisins. Really strong Bourbon notes here, sweet, toffeeish with raisins. Too much Bourbon here, alcohol coming through, overrides much everything else. Sipper.

Draught sample at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2015. Opaque deep brown liquid with medium light tan head. Aroma of raw sugar, oak, toffee, vanilla, light booze, wood and bourbon. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with notes of raw sugar, oak and bourbon. Full bodied with medium carbonation. Really good, best beer I’ve had from this brewery.

This was poured into a mini snifter.
The appearance was a dark brown color with no head nor lacing.
However, the aroma took up the sword and cut into toffee, sticky caramel malts, light tobacco, subtle vanilla, and cocoa.
The taste represented the aroma very well being sticky sweet with a thorough sticky caramel aftertaste, cloying, yeah, maybe somewhat. Subtle sweet vanilla finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a great sipping quality about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the stickiness to build even further.
Overall, wish I could have found a date, I know Barleywines can be aged, but I’m not quite sure about this one. Flavor and aromas are definitely there, I’m just thinking carbonation kind of died off in this one, more carbonation probably could have helped being less cloying.

Lovely beer to start a new year.
Quite dark and oily liquid with a nice beige head. Ok lacing down the sides of the glass. A fine intensity in the aroma. Full body and a soft-ish carbonation. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness, although a bit over to the sweet side. A bit oily texture. Coffee, chocolate (quite dominating), some dried fruity and some mild oak. Well masked and quite warming alcohol.
