Keg at the 4th Copenhagen Beer Celebration, Session 4, 02/05/2015. Light black topped with a decent tan swirl. Nose is spice, tarte dark fruit esters, herbal notes, toffee, cocoa rub. Taste comprises liquorice, spice, fruit loaf, tangy fruits, stewed prunes. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a lick of alcohol. Came across more a dark sour more so a barley wine but not a bad sipper.

(On tap @ MBCC 2017 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) Pours hazy pink-orange colour with a white head. Notes of quite a lot of watermelon and flowers, lightly bready/wheaty malt, a touch sweet and very low on bitterness, not really tart at all, somewhat watery. Light body, average carbonation. No frills here, it's a watermelon beer that's clean, refreshing and tastes like watermelon. Not necessarily the thing you want much of the time but it accomplishes its intent well.

Collab with Against the Grain, bottle. Pours clear reddish brown with large foamy beige head, sharp tropical fruit aroma (sweetish melon-apricot), high carbonation, medium bitter roasted malt taste with the tropical Brazilian fruit flavor, smooth body, long fruity finish. Very tropical, interesting brew.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 330ml ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Listed at 12.1% on the bottle. Pours moderately hazy reddish brown color with a small dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big raisin, plum, cherry, fig, date, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, pepper, honey, caramel, vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, toasted wood, and brown bread; with light notes of coconut, molasses, mint, chocolate, herbal, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness. Very slight booze in the aromas as it warms. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity yeast, dark/bready malt, and amburana barrel notes; with great strength. Taste of big raisin, plum, cherry, fig, date, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, pepper, honey, caramel, vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, toasted wood, and brown bread; with light notes of coconut, molasses, mint, chocolate, herbal, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness. Mild herbal/roast bitterness and oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark fruit, cherry, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, pepper, honey, caramel, vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, toasted wood, brown bread, coconut, light chocolate/mint, herbal, and yeast/oak/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity yeast, dark/bready malt, and amburana barrel flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, with zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Slightly increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness. Light-medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky, and slightly slight/sticky/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Alcohol is extremely well hidden; a slightly increasing warmth with zero booziness lingering after the finish. Overall this is an excellent wood aged English barelywine! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity yeast, dark/bready malt, and amburana barrel flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV. Very rich and well rounded in complexity. The South American wood barrels add a really unique spice-like profile to the beer; and this has really impressive malt and fruity yeast complexity; with mild balancing earthy hop presence. A very unique and enjoyable offering; and spot on style example.

Draft at Mellow in Owensboro. Pours a light rusty, cranberry color with a finger of pink foam. Açaí nose with faint cinnamon and apple pie. Tart on the palate, with some green apple and strawberry, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spice flavors meld well with fruit. Very interesting beer. --- Beer merged from original tick of Way / Arizona Wilderness Purple High 5 on 05 Nov 2017 at 13:17 - Score: 7.
