330mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma brings out complex dark dried fruits, bourbon barrels, and some toffee malts. Flavour is very malty, with lots of bready caramel, a mix of bourbon barrels, light alcohol, toffee, and subtle dark dried fruits. Not the most pronounced or clean malt base or barrel character, but nicely done. Good.

Chestnut brown. No head. The aroma has some alcohol, and toffee. Maybe a plum note. On the palate, that toffee note comes across well, barrel, and a touch of brown sugar. I'm liking the malt complexity here. Maybe a touch of fruitiness, but just an accent.

Robe cuivrée très sombre, presque noire, surmontée d’une mousse beige tirant sur le brun, de taille moyenne. Nez intense et chaleureux, marqué par l’alcool, les fruits noirs mûrs (prune, figue), les fruits secs, avec une touche de toffee discret. Attaque ample et enveloppante, dominée par la prune et la figue, puis viennent les raisins secs et d’autres notes de fruits séchés. L’alcool est bien présent mais agréable, réchauffant sans excès, soutenu par une douceur maltée. La finale est longue, ronde et persistante, avec un bel équilibre entre richesse fruitée, sucrosité et chaleur alcoolique. Une barley wine barrel aged complexe et élégante.

Flaska från SB. Mahognyfärgad vätska utan skum. Nästan löjligt mycket russin i både doft och smak. Dessutom väl utvecklade och välbalanserad integrerade smaker av karamell, mörk torkad frukt, madeira, vanilj och fat. Harmonisk och koncentrerad med väl dold alkohol. Gott
