This ale has an intense malty character and aroma, that meld into the cacao and rich caramel, playing off the warmth of the alcohol.

2022 bottle drunk 12/27/24.
Wow, never seen this...got about 5 ounces before it just turned in to glop. And a majority of the bottle is solid. The beer looks like a chocolate milk shake.
Smells like oak, chocolates, salted caramel, grape and prune. Maybe a bit too much caramel. Not quite as much beer as I'd like. No booze.
Gloppy, gritty, chocolatey, like a smoothie Barleywine. Yep, a chocolate, salted, caramel pastry Barleywine. Pretty frickin bizarre! Guess I got the very end of the bottling line...

12oz bottle from JohnGalt1. Dark brown flat pour. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, soy sauce. The taste is chocolate, some boozy warmth. Iffy on this, the taste is better than the aroma.

Bottle picked up from Beer Republic webshop Breda Netherlands (I think) and consumed at dad and Paulines Monday 1st April 2024 listening to a random selection of tunes. Pours dark brown with a fast disappearing head, agree with Loz and dad this has a really beefy nose, but there is also bourbon. Thick in the mouth, boozy but some chocolate combines, quite zappy but really heavy, good.

Aromas are rich traditional barley wine with lots of yeast and malt, don't pick up much chocolate or caramel, maybe hint of oak. Cocoa comes through more in the flavors along with a bit of caramel but they're not balanced. Very rich. One and done.

Green foil capped 12oz bottle was a literal mess. Opening it there was no fluid motion and nothing came out. With time it glugged and sputtered and I was able to retrieve some liquid from it. It pours with a chocolate milkshake looking body with a milkshake head. The aroma offers up boozy chocolate leading to chocolate fudge. The taste comes across very much sludgy and chocolate milkshake like. It's like drinking a frothy boozy chocolate mousse. Very strange as it's literally thick milkshake consistency. More sips keep revealing the same flavours of chocolate, velvety fudge and a wide swath of booziness. Interesting sipper.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenny, 16/12/23. Black with a fast escaping khaki head. Nose is chocolate, caramel, dark malts, booze whisper, dried fruits, molasses. Taste comprises chocolate pudding, custard streak, perfume, caramel melt, Curly Wurly, molasses, brown sugar dusting, light peachy/pineapple strokes, toffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Solid work.
