Bottle at home. Pours deep mahogany brown, almost black in fact. Nose is intense dates, prunes, walnuts, light spicy touch, warming booze, sherry and poppy seed. Taste is sweet notes of booze, bready and nutty malts, dried fruits and faint spices, some chocolate even, pretty round and balanced. Closes with long lasting warming and sweet finish, has a full body and soft caronation. Always preferred the English iterations over the American versions when it comes to barley wines and this one's no exception either. Incredibly rich malty character and full body, pretty hecking tasty. It's not your usual boost-rate either, I do think it's one of the best MONYO beers to date.

Bottle at BBT 6/2023. Medium body, despite a very high cloying sweetness. Low carbonation. Everything is defined by a strong candyish and caramelly character. Moderate dried fruits. Overall feels very empty though, not bad, but not great either. Average.

Bottle at BBT. Malty aroma and taste, roastyness, medium to high sweet, light to medium bitter. Full body, malty roasty sweet finish. Ok, but too sweet.
