Bottle. Blonde. Citrus and a hint of flowers in the aroma and flavor. Thin, a bit sharp. Well carbonated. Dry with a hint of vinegar.

Hazy golden colour (after adding the yeast), small white head. Malty, a bit grainy, fruity estery aroma. Light-bodied. Pale malty, light alcohol and honey, citrus. Even with American hops, this one has Belgian vibe. OK.

Nice clear copper colour, small off-white head. Apple, fruits, some malts in the nose. Light-bodied, a bit fizzy carbonation, Champagne like! Raisins, apple/grapes, Champagne, some caramalts in the flavour. Very thin for this ABV. Not much Barley Wine character here - like ESB mixed with Champagne. Not too bad anyhow.
Earlier Rating: 9/5/2019 Total Score: 3.5

Dark amber colour, medium-sized brownish head. Aroma has toffee, cognac, apple. Full-bodied. Elegant flavour: malty, rye, hops, toffee, cognac and some alcohol. Good flavour, aroma is not as exicited. Well-brewed.

Pale amber colour, small white head. Is it triple sec? For me it smells like green apple/white wine plus alcohol. Light-bodied. Fruity Belgian yeastyness, alcohol, green apple in the flavour. Quite simple and quite thin for its ABV.

Bottled 330ml (Smaakhuis) Dark amber colour, small off-white head. Light aroma has honey, fruits and alcohol. Medium-bodied. Flavour is like watered down quadrupel (raisins, dates) with honey and whiskey aroma (whiskey is more like a tiny punch of alcohol and vanilla). Not much aftertaste. Not very successful infusion here.
