Key at If Ain't Dutch. Just about clear dark brown beer, small tan head. Airy palate, smooth and mildly dry to start. Good fine minerally carbonation. Fairly light bodied malts, decent caramel and a little toffee, not too sweet. Mild alcohol spice. Ripe fruits, mild whiskey. Trace of vanilla. Light finish.

15 cl pour at Jopenkerk about a week ago. We only had a brief time at the brewery and I made this my only selection. Nice presentation, a shiny amber-brown body with a decent parchment tan head. It tasted of caramel, hops, grain, plums and hard candy. One of the better American style barley wines I can recall sampling.

Fles gedeeld door Roelzie. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een dun schuim. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout en toffee en kaneel. De smaak is vol gebrande mout, caramel, kaneel en rozijnen.

33 cl. can @ home, bought @ Plus Culemborg.
Hazy yellow with a white head. Tropical fruit aroma. Sweet taste with a rather sharp sweet finish. Some alcohol and or hop bite is certainly present. Not bad but a bit unbalanced.

Besteld via de Jopen webshop. Donkerbruin tot zwart bier met schuim wat vrij snel wegzakt. Smaak is bitterzoet en kruidig met duidelijk gin invloed en wat chocolade, een beetje koffie en een heel lichte rook smaak in de afdronk.
