Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Hazy brown with small beige head. Marzipan, raisins, alcohol, krentenbrood, quite some herbs, some milk chocolate. Not that much chocolate considering the name. Over medium sweet with bitter herbal and alcoholic finish. Over medium bodied with some alcohol burn. Too alcoholic for me.

Bottle shared by Inoven. Nice clear dark red color, average sized beige head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, lightly in the distance a hint of old dusty chocolaty cardboard. Taste malts, sweetish, don’t get the chocolate anymore in the flavor. Quite thin bodied. Too bad, not nearly as nice as batch III was.

Flesje gekregen met verjaardag en gedeeld met Benzai. Donkerbruin helder bier met matig schuim. Aroma is houtachtig en rokerig. Smaak van geroosterde mout en kruiden. Caramelachtige nasmaak. Het bittere gevoel blijft hangen op de tong.

Bottle @ home. Dark red brown color, medium sized beige head that lasts for a short while and leaves fair lacing. Aroma is malts, caramel, light chocolate, light booze. Tastes about the same: malts, sweetish, caramel, slight malt bitter, light chocolate and a bit boozy, which isn’t that odd at 11.2% ABV of course. Medium to full body, quite oily texture, suitable quite soft carbonation. Well, I’m pleasantly surprised. Quite a nice beer. I wouldn’t say it’s a barley wine in a blind tasting though. To me it tastes like a Belgian Strong Ale with pleasant light chocolaty influences. Nonetheless, as I said quite a nice beer. Well done by this very young brewery.
