A mild haze on this deep amber brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, smooth and semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Surprisingly thin bodied malts, a little ripe unsweet caramel. Ripe wet wood and mild esters. Back end is good fruity brandy. Some juicy plummy fruits and ripe pruney fruits, all with that brandy richness. Light and semi dry finish. A very tasty and quaffable brew if thinner bodied than I would like.

A red copper barley wine with no head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with vinous notes, alcohol warmth, treacle, light butterscotch, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with light woody notes, licorice, alcohol warmth, very nice and smooth. On tap at l'autre oeil. Not sure which version this is... Pedro Ximenez and Glen Grant barrel aged. 12.6.

Big thank you to kappldav123 for this dusty 0,33 l bottle. Bottling date 18.02.2016. Nearly black in the glass, small short living beige head. Intensive dark fruity aroma, malt and vanilla. Taste starts malty with dark fruity elements, increasing dry and tart. Choco and vanilla in the background. Smooth and slick, complex. Little bit alcoholic. No real carbonation. Very interesting well aged stuff.

Bottle at TripelB, Worcester, Wednesday 22nd October 2025 in the company of Mum, Keith. Pours dark, murky brown, nice off white head. Nice aroma, wet boozy wood, liquorice, (mum gets Marmite) there's a beefy touch, brandy comes through but doesn't intrude, taste is similar, it's a nice blend.

Bottle. Color: Very dark ruby, almost black, beige head. Aroma: Dark malt, peaty Whisky, some dark dried fruit, hints of Iodine. Taste: Nice blend of peated Whisky, dark malt, some dark fruit (figs, raisins), oak wood. Just over medium body, feeling a bit thin, below average carbonation. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Nice one overall.

Очень сдобное и сбалансированное пиво. От запаха с легкой жженкой зерна, до финиша с бочкой. Много специй, немного жженого сахара.
