*Rating overgezet 2018* Fles gekregen van Benzai, thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een donkerbruin bier met een diep rode gloed met een dun laagje schuim. Het heeft een moutige caramelachtige geur. De smaak is moutig, vol en zacht zoet.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Rovin, Dongen. Hazy dark amber with a very thin off-white head. Caramel and raisin aroma with some maple syrup. Taste is sweet. Body is sticky and a bit thin, with low carbonation. Some alcohol warmth is noticeable but it's still smooth.

Hazy brown colour with lasting head. Aroma has some yeast and alcohol. Raisin sweetness comes through in the flavour. A fair amount of noticeable alcohol. A little thin too.

Bottle. Dark amber color. Caramel, toffee, almost vinous and malt syrup in the aroma and flavor. Sweet with hints of cake and butter. Hardly any carbon.

330mml. as part of a trade with Benzai, many thanks! Tasted on the 23/10/2018 at home. Lo primero que hay que señalar es que la botella había filtrado un poco de su contenido, por lo que puede ser que perdiera alguna de sus propiedades. Color marrón tirando a ámbar sin espuma (carbonatación muy baja). Aroma de maderas, azúcar moreno y maltas. En el sabor también está presente el toque que le aportan las maderas y la levadura. Final ligeramente dulce. Fácil de beber y de final agradable. No se le notan los 10%. Next one please!

Bottle @ home. Picked up the bottle at the brewery where I had a very nice conversation with the brewer - very nice guy! Came back to his place after trying out some beers and came back because the beers are definitely worth to try. Typical barleywine red to red-brown color, with a small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, somewhat sweet, brown candy sugar. Dangerously drinkable! A fine beer, but as a barleywine it's definitely too thin. -- (Dutch) Best knap, zo niet heel knap, dat de 10% alcohol zo goed verborgen is en ik proef er ook niks van, het drink echt gevaarlijk makkelijk weg.
