Can. Near clear deep amber - brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied malts, some light creamy sweetness, mildly tangy caramel. Estery bourbon soaked ripe fruits. A mild alcohol spice on the light and semi dry finish. Certainly rich enough for me, smoothness, not so much. Might taste better in a decade.

Can from BiervanEijk, Steenwijk. Lots of raisins with bourbon, caramel, brown/dark malt, oak, some alcohol in the finish. Touch of marzipan. Medium sweet, light bitter and boozy. Above medium body, mild sticky. Rather pleasant notes of Wild Turkey.

Donker roodbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is intens, warm en zoet met overduidelijk veel bourbon, wat rozijnen, vanille, pruimen en wat karamel. Omdat de bourbon wat mij betreft iets te veel overheerst en er van de originele barley wine zo eigenlijk niet veel meer in de smaak is overgebleven wat lager beoordeeld. Desondanks opnieuw een topper!

Can thanks to my bro. It pours darkest brown to black with a small off - white head. The aroma is toasty malt, rich roast, oily, unctuous, booze soaked oak, quite savoury, coconut, vanilla, heady bourbon vibes, walnut, chocolate bourbons biscuits and earth. The taste is slick, oily, bitter - sweet, oily, cola, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, plenty of bourbon, bourbon soaked oak, nuttiness, tannin, vanilla, green coconut, chewy, toothy, werther's original and toffee with a drying finale. Fulsome body and average carbonation. Quite a grown up beverage. Strikes a nice balance, never too sweet. Fun stuff.
