Bottle at home thanks to ShivanDragon who gave this to me for Secret Sinterklaas. Black beer, small head. Aroma is roasted, malts, chocolate, spices. Taste is the same, hint of sour, nice.

Bottle [from trade with bierkoning] @ home. Opaque black color, full sized brown head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is malts, dark malts, tea. Taste malts, some roast, liquorice, a distant hint of oak that’s a little bit dominated by a hard to describe overlying dustyness. A bit weird but not unpleasant. A bit thin texture, average to decent body, soft carbonation. Interesting stout, but overall an ok beer.

Bottle [from trade with bierkoning] @ home. Nice dark red color with a medium to full sized quite thick off-white to beige head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts, a hint of dried fruit. Taste malts, dried fruits again, some toffee and caramel, sweetish initially with some malt bitter in the finish. Some alcohol present and also quite clearly wood. Quite pleasant, curious about the regular barley wine as -surprisingly- I’ve never had that one while I’ve had the special editions..
