Keg at If It Ain't Dutch. Clear amber beer, decent paleish tan head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth caramel, not that sweet. Some spice. Mild esters. A little ripe fruits. More spice on the light finish. Leaves a spicy floral fruity linger. Somewhat old school but very nice with it.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness. Light pine. A light piney sweetness. Mild but bright orange tangerine mandarin citrus, even a touch of pomelo. Light finish. A nice bright citrus really brightens this.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 30.04.2030) im 2025-08 getrunken. Dieses dunkelbraune Ale hat ein sehr deutliches Liebstöckel-/Mable Sirup Aroma. Erinnert an ein sehr getreidiges/Braotartiges Barley Wine mit einer kräftigen Süße. Das Bourbon BA ist deutlich und man kann im Hintergrund eine feine Frucht vom Red Wine BA entdecken. Mich stört dieses doch sehr dominante Liebstöckel-/Mable Sirup Aroma, wodurch die Balance verloren geht. Der Köper wirkt dadurch auch sehr mächtig, obwahl der Alkohol recht gut eingebunden ist. Leider komme ich bei diese Bier nicht ins Jubeln. Vielleicht hätte es noch 2-3 Jahre in der Flasche reifen sollen.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 2024/bbe 31.12.2029) im 2025-03 getrunken. Dieses Barley Wine kommt wunderbar klassisch mit seinen schweren malzigen Körper und Aromen von Trockenfrüchten daher. Die Reifung in Heaven Hill Bourbon und Glenmorangie Port Wood Single Malt Fässer hat für eine wunderbare Ausgewogenheit gesorgt.
