Can, 16%. Aroma of paper and dry coffee. Black colour, seems fairly clear. The flavour has a bit of alcohol bitterness and a little sweetness. Mild coffee notes. Raisin notes are overpowered by the alcohol.

Eisbocked dark barleywine - a welcome distraction from the pastry stouts Moersleutel is best known for. Thanks Craftmember for sharing. Open, pale greyish-beige, thin ring for a head on a very dark chestnut brown beer, almost blackish but with ruddy-bronze glow. Aroma of fresh chocolatine, molten caramel, molasses, fig jam, brown rum, vanilla, nougat, nail polish remover, wodka. Candied sweet onset, candied cherries and cooked pear, cherry 'bonbons' even, blackberry jam, softly tingling carb, vinous and oily mouthfeel; deeply toffeeish malt core with nutty and chocolatey edges, retronasal vanilla effects mingling with a mild toasty bitterishness, some spicy hoppiness too, but all too soon everything is drowned in a hot, rum-like booziness, unsurprisingly at this strength of course. Sweet, syrupy and very boozy but not overly sticky and showing some layers of complexity; ends a bit too astringent for me, but it is an interesting sipper for sure, more akin to a kind of imperial porter than a true barleywine.

Dark brown pour with a thin beige head with poor retention. Toffee, licorice, plum jam, roasted malt, toasted nuts, dark chocolate, boozy finish.A bit too harsh and rough around the edges. Not their best beer. No idea why it is so loaded with roasty notes, when it's supposed to be a barleywine.
