650 ml bottle. Shared by PowY, many thanks!
Dark brown body, with a small, beige head.
Aroma of whisky, chocolate, brown sugar, caramel, cocoa, dried fruits, vanilla, sherry.
Tastes similar, with more sweet fruits, chocolate and caramel.
Medium, very oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes smooth, warm, medium sweet, a bit astringent, with toffee, chocolate, dried fruits, sherry, some whisky.
Tasty. Sweet and heavy, while really comfortable to drink. Very well integrated whisky, not too overpowering, leaving room for the typical Barley Wine notes, with the Belgian twist of the brown sugar and dried fruit notes. Balanced, characterful stuff.
Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16

0,66l bottle at Sanders shared by Powy, big thanks. No obvious BB date. brown color, very small off white head. smells of marzipan, nutty, sherry, light oxidation, coconut, some whisky notes, very nice smell. full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of brown sugar, molasses, marzipan, coconut, nutty, some whisky, very light mint. finishes lightly sweet with notes of marzipan, coconut and molasses. very nice one, reminds me a bit of the Firestone Walker Anniversary series, although this is a bit less pronounced and less complex. Overall lovely stuff though.

Opalescent mahogany colour, minimal creamy beige-ish off-white head; aroma of intensive herbal notes, biscuits, caramel, slight soy sauce and whisky notes; taste of syrupy sweetness, dried berries, raisins, herbal liqueur, biscuits and spicy alcoholic notes; excellent barley wine!

650ml bottle. Clear, mahogany colour with dark ruby glimmer and small, thick, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Malty aroma with explicit signs of BA, notes of toffee, caramel, malt lozenge, treacle, Bourbon, vanilla, rum, some dried fruit, raisin, fig, some blueberry. Taste is sweet malty, notes of toffee, caramel, honey, malt lozenge, treacle, floral-fruity hints of blueberry, dried fruit, raisin, well embedded BA hints of Bourbon, vanilla, a touch of rum; full body, oily texture, soft and slightly sticky palate. Rich and complex, quite sweet of course, still relatively drinkable if only "sippable".
