Brewed with our friends at Frontaal, in the Netherlands, the aroma on this is like a steaming latte set in front of you. We expertly dry-bean with Hasbean Limoncillo Ethiosar Natural coffee beans that adds to the thick body and chewiness of the beer style. The cinder toffee notes of the coffee mingle with a walnuttiness and the digestive biscuit flavour of the grain bill.
A deliciously bold beer, that'll stand out stark for its style.

Bottle split at L6, thanks to Tips, 27/06/19. Murky amber with a decent light beige covering. Nose is light coffee, herb, spice, toffee, dried fruits. Taste comprises fruit slice, brown sugar melt, mellow coffee edge, dusty fruits. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of booze. Passable BW … lacked depth of flavour for the ABV and stuck in 3rd gear for me.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Tippy. Pours unclear golden brown with a creamy, off-white head. Tasty, with light toast, orange, coffee, low bitterness. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more toast, coffee. Not bad.

Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, slightly soft 3 viscous, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts with a near seamless blend of toffee - caramel, smooth mellow coffee and malt cream. Some tangier coffee and ripe citric peel bitterness on the end. A little spice too. Not a classic barleywine, lacks real depth, but interesting and tasty.

(Draught at Foeders, Amsterdam, 24 Aug 2018) Reddish amber colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, red berries and black-currant. Malty, fruity taste with notes of black-currant, caramel, herbs and a mild spicy coffee bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Fairly well balanced for its strength, warming and tasty. Nice one.

Bottle @ home. Nice typical barley wine red color, average sized off-white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly coffee, typical sweet barley wine notes, more coffee notes, which leads to a more bitter finish. Decent to medium body, medium carbonation. Ok.
