660ml bottle. SMODs first in this format. Picked up at the brewery. Solodomed at home. Hazed medium gold. Very decent lasting lacing leggy white foam. Nose is big on the yeasty boozy esters. Clove in abundance. Further notes of herb, along the lines of sage and woody thyme. Plenty of sweet malt behind. Taste has a rich honey sweetness first off getting nicely bitter with lots of orange peel and a slightly sappy pine character. Rich and smooth throughout with a bit of boozy slickness. Fine brisk carbonation. Orange peel bitterness lingers on the finish. Great stuff.

Great! Classic taste. So glad they have this here because I didn't try it at the brewery (too many beers).

😋 I'll definitely come back here if I get the chance

Lovely. Lovely gents around, too, very friendly place.

Made it to Saint Mars! A local favorite, truly a great place with tremendous beer.

Pint can, courtesy of my Secret Santa (thanks Santa), pours with a deep mahogany colored body that supports a nice tan head of foam. The aroma offers up fruity esters like plums, dates and a dash of cherry flowing into clouds of sweet smelling maltiness and a bit of reduced sugars and brown sugar. The taste delivers smooth yet slightly tangy plum to date to a sliver or two of cherry. Behind the dark fruity esters are notes of sweet malts, a bit of nutty malts and then a blend of brown sugar and dark toffee. Nice. Best before April, 2022. Uh oh. Tasting just dandy right now and showing zero signs of negative aging. Solid barleywine.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Jan 24. Praise be to Garrold for sending me a bottle of this! Misty gold, large white head. Beautifully vibrant Belgian sweetness on the nose. Excellent yeast expression to taste, lovely comforting sweetness, perfect harmony of flavours with a soft rustic air. A rare beer that hits it square on the nose!
