pours clear brown, no head. Amazing aroma, I never experienced one quite like this. Coffee aroma, malts, nutty malts, coconut. It is exceptionally well blended together and is like like some sort of dessert or a super high end booze. amazing. Very unique. Flavor is extremely sweet, and then coconut. Coffee notes. palate is thick. way too sweet for my preferences. Still quite complex with layers of different kinds of sweetness. Sweetness drowns out the coffee which is mostly in the nose. A very special beer, I look forward to tasting more Ashes & Diamonds varieties. I hope they're not as sweet as this one. The barley wine part in this one is not that interesting.

Clear deep amber beer, a short bubbly tan head fucks off in a couple of seconds. Nose is intoxicating ripe bourbon soaked fruits. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. The malts are smooth and bring a mild creamy sweetness, touches of toffee and caramel. Big ripe bourbon soaked fruits follow the nose. Light coconut sweetens just the right amount and the coffee is both rich and enriching. Some spice and a streak of salted caramel emerge before a smooth finish. It's a heady mix of rich flavours and I like it!

Bottle at home, from HOTM online, 21/05/22. Murky brown with a beige head that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is coffee beam , spice, mellow roast, caramel, modest bourbon rinse, dried fruit esters. Taste comprises coffee grinds, toffee fudge, mellow bourbon kiss, sweet malts, boozey twist. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Solid BA BW.
