Bottle 33 cl. Pours black with an orange hue and and a small, rough, beige head - very dark for a BW. Amazing and sweet aroma of licorice allsorts - plenty of vanilla. Very rich body, almost flat, intense notes of maple syrup and molasses. Cloyingly sweet and hard to drink, but very delicious. 020326

Full body, light carbo. High sweetness, med bitter. Shitloads of chocolate, graham crackers, biscuity, med toffee. Very tasty, decadent, malt-centered. Med-light bourbon presence too though, echo of wood. Excellent.

Bottled at Drinkoteka, enormous thanks Barba & Elena! Very dark brown body, tiny off-whtie head. Heavy caramel and light vanilla in the aroma, along with strong punches of alcohol. Creamy taste, obviously malt-driven, smooth, caramelly, clear rum barrel notes, raisins, vanilla, maple and, of course, maple - but well integrated. Warming enough, but not in a terrible way. Lovely!

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with light head. Aromas of rich maple syrup, chocolate nougat, and caramel malts. Flavors follow same with emphasis on maple syrup. Cant really find the barley wine base with the huge amount of maple syrup and it’s very sweet; but still very tasty. A desert beer.
