0,33l waxed bottle at home. dark brown color, small tan colored head. smells dried fruits, raisins, cherries, toffee, oak, vanilla, toasty barrel notes. very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes vanilla, oak, dried fruits, raisins, light minty, toffee, toasted barrel notes, light alcohol notes. finishes lightly sweet with notes of toasted oak, vanilla and dried fruits. very nice one, great balance, more like a Barley wine or American Strong Ale. Not much cherries. Reminds me of the stuff Firestone Walker does (Anniversary series, etc.). Very good one.

330mL bottle. Pours clear deep brown with minimal head. Aroma has a ton of sweet cherry with some herbal and caramel malt notes. Flavour has a lot of sweet cherry, some burnt caramel and herbal notes. Carbonation could be stronger. Very medicinal; leaned too much into the cherry flavours.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a tiny beige head. Aroma reveals tons of cherry, cherry liqueur, candi sugar, perfume, and booze. Flavour is intense, with lots of cherry cough drop, cherry liqueur, some perfume, booze, candi sugar, and brandy liqueur. A bit too syrupy and medicinal in the cherry department. Boozy and cough drop-like. Not the greatest base beer as usual, and the barrel can't rescue it. Still, decent.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with no head. Aromas of caramel malts, candi sugar, a little oak and a little cherry syrup. Flavors of cherry brandy (lots of cherry brandy), oak, candi sugar and toasted malts. Very boozy

Poured from the tap (too cold, let it warm). Dark mahogany brown with minimal beige head. Aroma is quite oaky with some mild cherry notes. Taste is a little sweet with the cherry quality verging on medicinal cherry. Update: as I let it warm up even more, it’s growing on me (+0.1 to the overall).
