50cl bottle at Belgian Beergeeks/Brewver summer tasting at Tim's house. Thanks Siegfried.
Bottled 11/2020, BB 11/2035.
Cuivre, pas de col.
Arôme au nez boozy, belles notes de Calvados avec un léger rétro-nasal de sucre résiduel - garde une bonne base de malts.
Palais est assez plat en bouche, peu d'effervescence qui vient accentuer le caractère boozy. Calvados apporte une belle pointe de fraicheur, retrait sur le côté barley wine, caramel, léger grillé et qcq notes de fruits secs.

20 August 2022. At 12de Gents Bierfestival. Cheers to Anke, Pieter & the whole crew!
Hazy black, small, beige head. Aroma of mocha, vanilla cream, candied plum, pear, liquorice, sweetened fondant, dark fudge. Taste has sweet plum, fig & pear in a toasty, dark-chocolatey, fudge-like malt body with a soft umami soy edge. Herbal & peppery hoppy finish, chili burn kicking in and connecting with the bitter fondant and tobacco notes, remaining sweetish (dried fruits), warming whisky-like alcohol in the very end. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Rough but noteworthy chili Stout.

Tasty barley wine... (too) Sweet... Rum raisins, Aftertaste fades fast. Flat... Alcohol well hidden. Lacks character for such a big beer imho.
