Vintage 2025. Opaque colour, steady small beige head. Toffeish, toasted malty aroma with touch of raisins. Medium-bodied. Sweetish, raisins, dates, good maltyness. Mellow sweet old school Barley Wine which may gain a bit from cellaring. Solid. My first one from this brewery, looking for more.

Bottle at home shared with Laura. Brown color, virtually no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweetish a bit, soft distant raisins, somewhat caramel-ish. Slightly herbal / spices notes perhaps. Hmm, overall, okay, but nothing too special.

Bottle picked up from Mr Hop webshop Vernray, Netherlands. Consumed this Friday 12th December 2025, cooking Thomasina Miers Picadillo (Mexican Chile) however this is for other meals, we were actually having Dishoom Masala Prawns and another curry of Masala Chicken with Pulau Rice and Poppadoms and Raita, however the poppadoms filled us up 🤣. 🎧 to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. Pours shark eye black with a head that was rapidly swallowed up by the inky depths. Warmth from the chilli gives a nice kick, also a pleasant chocolate streak throughout. Smooth, warming and a little boozy, lovely stuff. Score 7.5

Bottle picked up from Mr Hop webshop, Vernray Netherlands and consumed at the Wohnmobile Stellplatz, Zwiesel Saturday 22nd November 2025 listening to Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on 6Music and cooking Beef Carbonade. We walked from Zwiesel to Regen along the river footpath today, and with short walks in Regen & Zwiesel walked almost 20km in total. Okay onto the beer, it's got a little bit of a kick, both in abv and feels like there is a chilli element here. Pours black but not a big head, what there is, is light beige warming and with a bit of a kick, thickness in the mouth, good.
