Aus der Flasche im 2026-01 getrunken. Ein typisches Barley Wine mit leichter Getreide-Note, Karamell, etwas dunkle Beeren und eine feine Hopfennote. Die Ähnlichkeit mit dem DeMolen Klasiker Bommen & Granaten ist schon deutlich. Dieses hier ist aber noch jung und frisch. Denn zur Zeit ist es noch etwas hopfenbetont. Ich hoffe das eine leichte Süße sich später durch eine längere Lagerung wie beim Bommen & Granaten einstellt. Es bleibt aber das es jetzt schon ein tolles Bier ist.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een medium beige schuim. Het heeft een aroma van rozijnen en kersen. De smaak is vol zoet en fruitig met tonen van kersen.

Bottle at home. Dark brown color with red hue, average sized beige head. Aroma and flavor are malts, raisins, brown candy sugar, boozy as it should be, black cherries in the background. Not bad.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 31/05/2025.
Deep mahogany brown topped with a good sized beige head that thins to a swirl and edging over time.
Nose is stewed fruits, herb, mellow barrel tones, toffee, spice.
Taste comprises fruit cake, booze tunes, dates, spice, herb, faint liquorice, toffee, modest barrel twang.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light boost.
Tidy barley wine.

Hazy deep amber brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Airy smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Rich caramel and cream malts, a touch of burned toffee. Light brandy soaked fruits, a savoury PX like vibe along with the associated datey ripe fruits. A little spice on the smooth finish. Rich and rewarding barleywine and straight up to boot.
