Purchased at Johnny’s Off License, near the Vatican, April, 2009. Shared at Skyview tasting, November 11, 2011, and I believe that photo is my bottle. I liked this more than the other guys, maybe because of memories of my travels. Anyway. Medium sweet with caramel and malt. Very low carbonation. There is also an earthy, light peat character I did not expect. Dry for a barley wine. 3 years old should not be too old for this kind of beer, and I think it held up well.

Amber body with an off-white head. Hoppy aroma with some caramalts and a smokey touch: quite well balanced. Smokey, bit malty flavour.

Reddish amber, off-white head. Aroma of malts, leather, sweet nuts, some light hops. Malty flavour, caramel, sweetish combined with light sour tones. Some wood and yeast. Finish astringent, some vanilla and caramel.

750 cl. bottle sampled @ RBWG 2012 – thx to Benzai – amber with a white head, smells of nutty malts with a dash of hops, taste is not particularly distinctive or impressive caramel hops, some slight brown sugar, slight roast, medium bitterness, light hops, odd smokiness running through it, creeps a little bit up in the aftertaste, medium carb. & body, ok, certainly not bad but not particularly impressive either

75cl bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen courtesy of Benzai. Cuivrée, col beige épais. Bière étrange dans son style qui se veut de type ’barley wine’ et en fait reste plus dominé par un malt fumé assez agréable. Le palais est donc divisé entre les caractéristiques d’un barley anglais laissant une fin note amer et citronnée/fruité suivi d’un malt caramel et fumé. Garde une présence belge dans la levure.
