From tap at Kaapse Brouwers, Rotterdam. Thought I'd rated this from tasting notes, but I guess not. Aroma is big sweet caramel malt, toffee, candysugar, sweet dried fruits, notes of hops, raisins. Flavour is sweet and mildly bitter. Body is above medium. Nice sweettooth Barleywine, dessert beer.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is citrussy hops with orange juice, herbal notes, pale malt, and a little hoppy/weedy dankness. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium with too much carbonation. Not a great 'Vermont' as expected but there's some herbal/dankness and decent citrussy hops. Kinda nice, but nothing special.
