0.5 l bottle shared with Ogi and Marko, thanks. Dark amber, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, bread, dried fruit. No alcohol in the aroma. Flavour is sweet, caramely, dried fruit, round and soft. Smooth, medium to full body. No richness, no complexity. Finishes too sweet.

January 2014: 500 ml bottle, Cardinal’s Christmas Beer Tasting 2013. ABV is 10.1%. Hazy brown colour, large beige head. Very strong sweetish aroma of caramel, brown sugar and coriander. Very sweet and malty flavour, loads of caramel, brown sugar, liquorice and spices. Overwhelming. Might be a good idea to cellar this one for a few years. Would buy again.
Sampled again January 2024: Even better now!

Bottle 50 cl. Pours an almost clear, warm orangey brown with a rich if dissipating beige head. Nose has candied apples, toffee, brown sugar and a clearly oxidized touch, but in a pleasant way. Rich, sweet, malty, dark dried fruits, a downplayed hint of Belgian yeast and a warming alcohol finish. Nothing really extraordinary, but just a very wel executed Strong Belgian as almost always from this brewer. A lovely dram! 130321

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, nutty brown with a rich, creamy, beige head with good retention, leaving a neat lacework. Sweet, malty and oxidized aroma with a hint of Belgian yeast. Huge, potent, malty body, lots of complex esters, dried fruits and solid madeirazation. Very sweet. No real alcohol showing. A lovely and complex “Belgian Barley Wine” 170121
