Bottle at home. Aroma is shitloads of dried fruits, apricots, prunes, oak, malt, caramel, sugary notes, ripe orange, slight touch of red wine. Flavour is sweet, a bit sticky. Body is full. Very nice, the barrel aging has added a healthy touch of oak and a hint of wine to the base beer.

Bottle at home. Aroma is malt, caramel, hops, overripe fruits, pears, prunes, apricots, notes of chocolate and molasses, touch of alcohol. Flavour is medium to heavy sweet. Body is full, sticky mouthfeel. Good, but I expected a bit more from this, not roasty enough for my taste, yet nicely ripe fruity, on its way to being an English Barley Wine.

Bottle at Café Derat, Utrecht. The complex aroma consists of malt, sweet dried fruits, plenty of bourbon, booze, vanilla, touch of smoke. Flavour is medium to heavy sticky sweet with a vicious alcohol burn. Body is full. Impressive beer, love the complex all over the place aroma, unfortunately it’s a bit too heavy for it’s own good and I found the alcohol burn rather too much. Curious, interesting one.
