Vanilla Big Sxxxy was aged for 22 months in single-use 10yr old California Brandy barrels before being treated with Mexican, Madagascar, and Papua New Guinea vanilla beans. This full-bodied English Barleywine exudes loads of vanilla, layers of crème brûlée, oak, sweet dates, and figs soaked in caramel, balanced with some brandy heat.⁠

Draft at Folkingebrew, Groningen. Black beer, small head. Aroma is sweet, vanilla, raisins, fruit, barley, bourbon, chocolate. Taste is the same, very sweet, malt, chocolate, vanilla, molasses, some sticky (sickly) sweet aftertaste. If only aftertaste wasnt so sticky sweet.

Bottle pour at MBCC 2025 (Green session), pours black with a tiny head. Aroma has tons of vanilla beans, medium roast, and bourbon barrels. Flavour is over the top with vanilla, with huge vanilla beans, bourbon, snd dark sugars. Rather brutal vanillin on the finish. Good but lacking cohesion.
