Bottle split at the farewell to Monica tasting, Watford, thanks to the Wingmane 20/09/24. Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that thins to the edge. Nose is fruit cake mix, rummy notes, booze, toffee, dark malts, molasses, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises chocolate, spice, figs, toffee fudge, dark malts, bourbon, spice. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced spike of alcohol. Solid quaffable barley wine ... sips easy whilst maintaining a good depth of flavour.

Bottle at Watford Tasting. From Dave. Sweet maple with sweetness taken off by a malty edge. Opaque brown. Foamy beige head. Fruity. A tang. Sweet maple throughout. Light-medium bodied. Oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Yum.

Bottleshare at Chez Frog. Thanks to Wingman for this beast. Near clear dark amber brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Rich creamy sweet malts, good caramel and toffee. Good fruity bourbon, alcohol spice. Modest and well integrated maple. Light finish. A very drinkable 14% BW.

Bottle @ Tores garage. Pitch black body without any head. Strong and nice aroma of dark malt, licorice, dark chocolate and lots of alcohol without being unpleasant. Tatse is very sweet with lots of dark, roasted malt, dark chocolate, molasses, balancing strong bitterness, some kind of acidity and warming alcohol. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Surprisingly nice for such a sweet and alcoholic beer, it’s simple amazing.
