Weer eentje uit de oude notities doos. Schenkt een diep roodbruine kleur met een flink pak beige schuim. Geurt zoet, suikerig, rood fruit, toffee, met wat rozijn retronasaal. Smaak is zoetig tot zoet, rozijn/rood fruit. Vrij sterk alcohol gevoel. Medium body. Afdronk is wat kruidig, lichtjes bitter. Iets te fruitig naar mijn smaak, maar best OK.

On tap at The Church by The Lost Abbey, pours black with a tiny head. Aroma is complex, with plenty of big bourbon barrels, wood, and roast in wonderful cohesion. Flavour is complex, with deep, complex, elegant wood dominating from the bourbon barrels; there’s subtle layers of smoke, vanillin, char, etc. Fairly limited residual sweetness. Cohesive and wonderfully blended. Still holding up real well after the years.

On tap at The Church by The Lost Abbey, pours a muddy dark brown/near-black, no head. Aroma has plenty of barrel character, a bit of rough husky malts, caramel, and dark dried fruits. Flavour is dominated by the bourbon barrels—really punching you in the face with that semi-smoky Buffalo Trace—along with brown sugar, caramel, and bready malt. Fairly restrained sweetness for the style. Not the most refined barleywine but there’s much to appreciate.

On tap at The Church by The Lost Abbey, pours a clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma has bright peaches, mixed bugs, some oak, and rustic graininess. Flavour is bright, with juicy peaches, moderate-to-heavy acidity, oak, and rustic notes. Super juicy, but also a bit acidic. Real good despite the acidity.

On tap at The Church by The Lost Abbey, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has some oily resins, light pine, and bready malt. Flavour is oily, with plenty of resinous hops, candied fruit, pine, and sugars. A bit too malty and sweet, and lacking bitterness, for it to be optimal for my tastes, but it’s competently made.

Bottle purchased long ago and cellared for 7 years. Pours clear and deep, dark brown with than head. Raisins, dark cherry and a bit of candied syrup on the aroma. Flavor is baking spices, cola nut, molasses and black strap. Slight chocolate. Nice beer and lots of flavor left after 7 years!

Pint can pours with a crystal clear deep gold colored body that supports a nice slightly off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up yeasty ester like fruitiness followed by soft smelling tropical hops, a dash of citrus hops and then a hint of spicy hoppiness. Another pull reveals a sense of dry mango cotton candy. The taste delivers fairly complex kind of Belgium like yeastiness with some esters, some yeasty spices (leaning peppery but not peppery) and then heading into some soft tropical fruity hoppiness. I'm getting vague citrus hop flavor and slivers of bitterness toward the finish. Pretty fun brew.
