0.33 l bottle from 'Mr. Hop', best before February 2029. Hazy, ruby with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity and a bit boozy aroma of molasses, raisins, prunes, vanilla, whisky and some chocolate. Very sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity and quite boozy taste of molasses, caramel, raisins, prunes, whisky, vanilla and some chocolate, followed by a long, moderately bitter, rather boozy finish. Almost full-bodied, gently effervescent and a bit fizzy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite tasty and rich, but also quite sharp and not as smooth as their Barley Wines from the past.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 30.10.2024/bbe 30.10.2025) im 2025-03 getrunken. In diesen Blond mischen sich sehr harmonisch typische herbe Aromen eines Blond Ale und die der Äpfel. Damit tritt der Hopfeneinfluss deutlich in den Hintergrund. Ein schönes Sommerbier was seine Kraft gefährlich gut versteckt.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 19.10.2023/bbe 1910.2028) im 2025-02 getrunken. Dieses wunderbare Porter hat ein tolles Espresso-Vanilie Aroma ohne viel Schnick-Schnack und sehr klassisch. Die hervorrangende Balance zeigt das DeMolen auch in ihrem 20.Jahr wissen was sie am Braukessel und in ihrem Fasslager machen. Ein tolles Bier zum 20.Geburtstag der Brauerei.
