Label seems to have 06/22 as bb date, however I don't think I've had it for so long. Anyway, pours a dark brown colour and a small off white head with little retention. Aroma's of red fruit, raisins, slightly oxidized (so maybe it was older than I thought), treacle. Retronasal it's sweetish, light boozy, treacle, fruity. Flavour is sweet with a hint of bitter. Alcohol is noticeable, but not sharp. Medium bodied. Flavour lingers.

Bottle shared with Laura @ home. Dark red-brown to brown color, small to average sized off-white head. Aroma is malts, dark malts, fruity notes which I guess is "bosbes". Flavor is malts, boozy a bit, dark malts and again something fruity so "bosbes" again I presume. A bit odd and I don't think I really like the combination tbh.

Been a while since I had Berghoeve, and a shorter while since my last no nonsensical Heaven Hill barleywine. Unsurprisingly quite solid and tasty. Malty, caramel, raisins, and a well balanced layer of soft and sweet bourbon.

More for sherry fans than IPA fans. Very dark, fairly complex. Pic: having finished Wednesday, I can affirm there's some truth to this meme 😆

Opaque black brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, a modest dark chocolate. A mild smokey whiskey aspect that I wasn't expecting or desiring. The PX barrelling brings a trace of oaky vanilla and a little sherry richness but nothing like I was hoping for. Smooth and slightly savoury and spicy finish. Yeah, nice Impy, just not the PX celebration it was going to be in my head.
