Rather dense yellow head, stable, over deep garnet, brilliant beer, lacey. Sweet, woody, dried fruit as plums, dates, figs; molasses, fusels, vanilla, condensed sweetened milk, milkchocolate. Sharpish bitter, fruity flavours. Fruit-filled chocolate, vanilla, wood, liquorice, booze. Very thick and viscous, oily despite good carbonation. Alcoholheat. Sweet - maybe just a tad too much liquorice for a top Barley Wine as from the States or the UK. Still, not unmeritory. Txs to Stef!

Bottle via Ward - many thanks!
A: clear yellow, small,, foamy, white head.
A: coriander, wheat, lemon zest, potato, soap.
T: sweetish apple, sourish lemon, soapy coriander.
F: floral hops, spicy coriander, apple, lemon, some warming vodka-like alcohol.
P: medium body, slick texture, average carbonation.
Easily drinkable; bit too soapy as is often the case with Fort Lapin. Congrats (again) to your newborn, Ward, but allow me to crack open a different bottle (obviously bought at Stacks) more to my liking ;-)

Aroma of sweet dark malt, caramel, overripe fruits, candy sugar, spices, some liquorice and anise. Flavour is quite sugary and sweet. A bit on the thin side for a Quad. Okay at best, nothing I’ll revisit.

Bottle at home. Aroma is herbs and spices, clove, speculaas, candy sugar, cinnamon, dark malt, liquorice. Flavour is rather sweet and cloying, a bit sticky. Body is medium. Spicebomb, not for me.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Yeasty estery aroma with soft floral & herbal hops, bready pale malt, grassy notes, spicy peppery yeast, and fruity citrussy notes. Flavour is light sweet and mildly bitter. Body is medium. Certainly not without flaws and a bit curious with its floral and herbal notes, pretty yeast-forward rather than hop-forward, but an okay brew.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Pale golden color, full sized white head that diminishes rather quickly. Aroma and flavor are wheat, lightly metallic, distant herbal notes. Not bad.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Light cloudy gold with small white top. Aroma of bubble gum, pear, flora, malt and spice. Taste is quite herbal and floral, with pear and hint of citrus zest, light spice. Drying medium+ body, slightly cloying, fine carbonation. Its ok but not great for the style.
