Interesting. Fairly bitter red ale, very smooth, but clearly a boozy and heavy monster. Lots of barrel provides some lovely whisky aromas, plenty of wood. There's a bit of sweetness there as well, something caramelly. Tasty for sure, but missing a spark.

Ô temps, suspends ton vol ! et vous, heures propices, Suspendez votre cours ! Laissez-nous savourer les rapides délices Des plus beaux de nos jours ! Le moment d'une dégustation le temps s'est donc arrêté. Merci à la brasserie Uiltje pour ce moment offert avec cette Analogue Recording. Superbe bière avec une maturation en fut de Carsbridge qui fait réellement la différence pour lui donner force, intensité et complexité. L'équilibre est également remarquable permettant une belle tension des arômes sans que l'alcool soit trop envahissant malgré ses 13 %, sans que le sucre ne soit surdosé, et sans que l'amertume ne soit trop aplatie permettant ainsi une bonne envolée sur le final. Sur le visuel, pas d'extase, mais je ne m'y attendais pas vu le titrage : un ambré limpide mais quasi sans mousse. L'effervescence y est très fine ce qui est plutôt agréable. Le nez se porte prioritairement sur le whisky et le fut de bois avec également du miel, des fruits confits, de l'orange amère et de la vanille. Nous retrouvons ces arômes à l'attaque avec des épices qui viennent agrémenter l'ensemble. La deuxième bouche monte en intensité avec un alcool qui devient plus chaleureux sans en devenir pour autant agressif. L’arrière-bouche est quant à elle d'une extrême richesse. Le final long est sur une alliance amertume/alcool permettant de nous laisser sur une touche plus brillante. Je suis fan.

Very good, stable, dense yellow-beige head over opaque redbrown beer. Rich alcohol & fusels' nose, Christmas cake with whisky, vanilla, dried fruit, Whisky obvious after some time. Red grapes, raisins, pickled orangepeel, spices. Bitter-sweet, vanilla, Bourbon, alcohol & fusels, rich sweet malt. Finish being a bit less exuberant, the aftertaste slowly peters out. With time, the bitterness from the hops becomes more apparent. Creamy, rich, viscous, alcoholheat. Fireworks in the beginning, in the best American Barley wine style. Afterwards it goes diminuendo, but in all, an excellent strong ale.

Reddish-brown colored, medium beige creamy head. Aroma is of caramel, dried fruit, oak barrel, bit whisky with some alcohol notes, candied fruit, toffee. Taste is medium to very sweet malt, caramel, candied and dried fruit, toffee, oaky vanilla, whisky, medium- bitterness, noticeable alcohol and warmth, bit too boozy. Full bodied, soft carbonation, sticky to creamy. Nice, but the alcohol bite is too much, better chilled down. (bottle, Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte)
