23rd August 2020 Clear amber beer, a few pale tan bubbles never even suggest they might form a head. Light palate, smooth, decent fine carbonation. Smooth but light malts, a nice creamy caramel here, strong but not even approaching sickly sweet. Nice brandy soaked fruits go very well. Touches of prune, fig and licorice. A modest spice on the slightly soft finish. A sweet barleywine but it has some depth to, the most important thing is that it has that hard to define drinkability factor. It goes down very easily.

Metalig, butterscotch, vrij zoet. Eikenhouten snippers geven er nog eens een aarde en muf houtachtig smaakje aan. Uit balans, brouwfoutjes, vergistingsfoutjes. Grote matigheid. Maar daar schijnen we niet op te beoordelen volgens sommige café eigenaren 😝

Magus, mõru, karamell, alks, mõru humalad. Ok, veits rohmakas barley wine, aga mitte halb.
