Bottle. Hazy purple brown pour. Aroma of raisin, vanilla, oak, caramelised malt, figs, dates and some herbs. Taste has bitter raisin, caramelised malt, booze, vanilla, dates, figs, caramel, bitter herbs and some yeast. Not bad, bit messy perhaps, but I like the strong flavor.

No head on a dark reddish brown still body. Huge aroma of malt, stewed fruit & toffee. Full bodied, smooth, greasy & oily on the tongue with a sticky back. Malt, demerara, syrup, jam, toffee & stewed fruit tastes. Definitely tasty.

(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 26 Feb 2020) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with foamy white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of candied pineapple, tropical fruit and sugar. Fruity, malty taste with tropical fruit, pineapple, soft malt, coriander and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Draught @ Proeflokaal Arendsnest, Herengracht 90, 1015 BS Amsterdam, Netherlands.
[ As De School / Oriel Summer Break ].
ABV: 7.1%. Cloudy medium yellow colour with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, pale malt, wheat, flowers, moderate yeasty, fruity yeast, saison yeast, sweet yeast, soap. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average to long duration, fruity yeast, sweet soap, sweet yeast, saison yeast, wheat, flowers - violet. IMO: quit odd ! Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20190926]

Clear golden beer; quite dense, very lightly yellowish head, stable, fed by fine carbonation. Pale malts, garden herbs, grassy, straw, warm hay. Sweet-bitterish-pharmaceutical. Yeastesters, finishing in an even more pharmaceutical, even metallic bitterness. Well carbonated, quite slick, even a bit oily. Dry aftertaste. Hmmm.

From tap at Bierproeflokaal In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, when my flight was cancelled because of a fire at Stavanger Airoprt 07.01.20. Cloudy dark straw colour. White head and lacing. Aroma and taste is true to style, with dried tropical fruits, pineappple juice, marmalade and citrus. Full mouthfeel. Bitter citrus, pine shoots and tropical fruits in lingering aftertaste.

Almost clear reddish amber beer, a small bubbly pale tan head. Nose doesn’t start great for me, touch of rubber in there, it burns off a little, needs to breathe a bit. Palate is quite light:”, semi dry and has a surprising fine crispness. Fairly thin malts for the style but delivering plenty of flavour. A little toffee and cream. Ripe spicy fruits, touches of fig and prune. A light crisp spicy finish that is also warming. I like the way this barley wine packs a lot of flavour into a light and crisp palate.
