Bottle at home in London - sourced from BarleyWine in Copenhagen way back in May 2012. Pours deep brown with a soft, creamy tan head; much darker than the non-BA version. A bit of burnt wood on the nose, ripe and dark fruits, suggestions of peat. Big sweet flavor with an aggressive peat whisky punch, some molasses, rich bread, alcohol, brown sugar, leathery fruits. Full bodied with fine, somewhat creamy carbonation. Warming, almost hot finish with lasting, tongue-coating peat character, dirt, mild earthy bitterness, hints of cocoa, dried and leathery dark fruits, some smoked and charred meat, burnt sugars, burnt wood. Decent beer overall, but the barrel aging certainly hasn’t done the base beer any favors.

330ml bottle kindly shared by kschep at Ørsted Ølbar & Cafe. Clear ruby dark body. Beige ring of bubbles to the rim of the glass. Prominent aroma of smoked malts. Smoked malts to the taste profile, too, but offset by dried fruits and mid-sweet malts. Warming alcohol to the long-lived ending. Good sipper (Copenhagen, 09.05.2012).

Bottle. A rather flat one, some beige bubbles around the rim only. Unclear, dark amber body. Quite peated nose, with dried fruits, caramel, and some alcohol. Quite peaty flavor, tending towards bonfire, with dried fruits and some caramel. Full-bodied, quite flat and warming. There’s some bitterness towards the end. Well, to me it’s too peated and bonfire-like, and also too boozy, drinkable though. 120516

Bottled at Linköping Beer Expo. Clear mahogany colour, no head. Smokey tarry whisky aroma - like Illeach. Sweet and full bodied. Meaty, sugary malt, loads of peaty smoke. Light ashy warming finish. Concentrated flavours, but too sweet.
