Bottle at Cafe Buitenlust, Oirschot. Shared with Dutchdrebus. Dark red / browm color, small off-white head. Smell wood, not much more. Taste chocolate, roastyness and sweetness. Bit too sweet in my opinion, but still nice. Medium to high carbo, medium to full body.

Bottle for first cool day of fall. Pours a cloudy root beer colored brown with almost no head. Nose is of dark fruits, leather, and lemon peel. Tastes of figs, cherries, currant, caramel, leather, tobacco, earth, light spice,cola, and slightly tart. It’s called a special winter ale but fine for fall

Sampled @ SBWF on September 29. Pours a cloudy chestnut colour with a small white head. Smell is sweet with sundried fruits and and alcohol that tickles your nose. Taste is malty and sweet with prunes and some caramel. It also has a light bitterness to it which is quite nice. A great barley wine!
