(Bottle, 0.65l - 2022 vintage, a sample, at Pien Shop, 20230901) The beer poured oily and black. Its head was tiny and lightly brown. Aroma had malts, vanilla, wood and toasted almonds. Palate was full bodied and rather dry with low carbonation. Flavours were toasted malts, wood, vanilla, raisins, toffee and mild bitterness. Aftertaste had wood, malts and bitterness. A tasty and balanced brew with well hidden high ABV and mild enough barrel notes.

Bottle shared by Binďo. Very full body, med-low carbonation. High sweetness, med-light bitterness, light woody tannins. Lots of dried fruits character, mostly figs, less plums, less raisins. Subtle chocolatey toffeeish malty undernotes. Med-light clean woody character, subtle too. Very easy drinking, ABV hidden very well, only light pleasant warmth. Rewarding sipper, but I would gladly down an entire bottle by myself.

Bottle: Poured a deep copper color barleywine with an off-white foamy head with good retention and light lacing.

Taste is a superb mix of vanilla with some woody bourbon notes and some deep caramelized malt notes with some toffee notes. Body is about average with good carbonation and some light warming alcohol notes. World-class barleywine.

bomber bottle c&c. bottle label date is 2022. Pours a dark brown color with a small-ish khaki colored head that soon recedes. The amora is medium in strength with dark fruits, toffee, and cola. The taste is insanely complex with chocolates, mocha, raisins, pecans, cola and a touch of whiskey barrel. The palate is smooth and creamy and the carbonation is soft. Finishes long and semi-sweet with lingering cola's. Overall: Decent--This is a monster of a barley wine. paired well with some Comte cheese.
