Aus der Flasche (bottled 22.12.2020) im 2025-09 getrunken. Diese dunkel braune Ale mit hellbrauner Schaumkrone zeigt deutlich ein schweren malzigen Charakter. Ein getreidiger Charakter für ein Europäschisches Barley Wine kommt hier nicht durch, aber dafür eine deutliche Süße mit deutlichen Vanille Aroma, das aber auch sicher durch ein für Bruery typisches Aroma durch das Bourbon BA kommt. Ein wirklich edles Ale zum langsamen Genießen.

Brewery tasting in Bratislavka. Brown color with light beige head. Aroma is full of caramel, vanilla, chocolate, regonizable alcohol. Taste is very sweet with caramel, complemented by chocolate, vanilla, lot of lactose. Alcohol is evident, which is no surprise. Tasty sipper.

Keg at BBNo, Bermondsey, 25/08/22. Chestnut brown with a moderately appointed just off white cap that soon escapes. Nose is sweet malts, caramel melt, custard, brown sugars, toffee, dark malts. Taste comprises burnt sugars, caramel, spice, dark malts, good creme brulee vibes. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Fun time big hitter ... sips fine for the ABV and does a good impersonation of CB if not a top drawer number.
