Dark amber, bit of off-white head. Smell is dried fruit, malty, light rum. Nice body, light boozyness at the finish. Tastes good, very well balanced between raisiny barleywine and slightly herbal sweet rum. Some wood, highly drinkable.

33cl can de Malt Attacks, BB 03/2022.
Brune foncée, col épais et crémeux.
Arôme au nez plaisant malté, grillé, barrique moyenne en rétro, note de fruits noirs avec de fines effluves de barrique. Le rhum est délicat avec un effet toffee
Palais est épais sur le caramel, grillé, fruits noirs, prunes et dattes. Ressent bien un apport de Fuggles plus dans le terreux et Sorachi en fruité.
Barrique de rhum et fine sécheresse boisée. Pointe épicée rappelant la cannelle, note poudreuse en fin de bouche.

Toasted and sweet malty with a plethora of dark dried fruit shred, some sweet caramel and toffee notes, singed brown sugar, medium plus body, some nice spices and rum soaked wooden accents into the warming boozy malty close. Very nice.

One of now countless variations on this theme, a barleywine aged on rum barrels, from a can bought at Etre Gourmet. Initially thick and mousy, dense, regularly shaped, yellowish beige head, retaining for quite a while, lightly hazy burgundy brown robe with copper-red glow. Aroma of indeed brown rum and strongly so, ground pecan nuts, toffee, gin, toasted hazelnuts, gingerbread, dry tea bags, candied cherry, wet oak wood, burnt cranberries, dry tree leaves. Sweet onset, candied figs, cranberry compote and candied cherry aspects, light sourish undertone, medium carbonated; full and vinous body, as is to be expected from the style. Rounded sweet caramelly and chestnutty maltiness quickly developing a pronounced toasted-bitter edge, which is accentuated by a firm tannic woodiness and, announced way at the start of course, a strong booziness, in the form of a glowing, eventually even wry rum effect dominating the finish, even if more refined impressions of dried fruit, toffee and ground nuts keep lingering. Very boozy and hot, a bit too much so for me - this is not the most subtle or sophisticated one in this normally highly rewarding series, but still a complex sipper regardless.

Magus, karamel, paber, alko, puuviljad. Ok.
