bottle 14.08.2022 tasted 28.12.2023 super nice aroma centered around peat smoke and dried dark fruity notes. Flavor is dried dark fruity, peat smoke, charred wood, malts. This is a slightly fruity barley wine with an exceptionally delicious flavor where the quad like dried fruits and the peat smoke and the charred wood really really play well together.

bottle. BBD 17.07.22 tasted dec. 27 2023 this time I opened it in the kitchen sink, given my experiences with the first and that was a good choice. pours or rather gushes and settles as an unclear brown but sort of close to semi-clear brown, witha offwhite head. appearance 2 bc it came out of the bottle all by itself in an unorderly fashion. aroma is sort if in between barley wine, quad and a very fruity brune. aroma hints high alc contents, high complexity. I also get wood, booze, vineous notes. sort of perhaps like a barrel aged brune, leaning towards quad and barley wine. Flavor is tobacco, malts, quad like dried dark fruits, wine cellar, dark dried grapes, wood, fresh dark grapes, faint hint of vineagre, faint hint of bitter caramel. It tastes like it has more complexity and power than 9% alc. could just as well have been 13%. perhaps the gushing was bc of further fermentation in the bottle. If you can't decide between quad or brune or barley wine, this might be a good choice. Good sipper.

Dark murky amber colour, beige foam. Nose of dried fruit, liquorice, some citrussy notes. Sweet and boozy, not very hoppy. Is this an IPA?

Sample at the bermondsey dutch bar. A light hazed amber orange coloured pour with a lively beige head that settles down. Aroma is warming alcohol, toffee, chewy bark, toffee apple notes, boozy, light age.. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, chewy toffee, hot alcohol, boozy, dried fruits, solvent.. Palate is semi sweet, oily, dull carbonation. Chewy. Not great.

It Ain't Much.. Keg. Clear amber beer, big cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy smooth creamy malts, nice. Mellow Cognac in the mid. A little vanilla barrel. Savoury cognac and biscuits before smooth pine and some fairly ripe fruits. Mild spice on the fairly light finish. Nice beer but not really coming across as very TIPA.

Bottle shared at RBBWG 2023. Opaque black color, virtually no head. Aroma is boozy and green apples. Flavor is similar: green apples and booze. Bleh. Way over the top and unripe. What is the point? Getting people drunk? Stupid.

Pours black, no head. Scent is acetaldehyde. boozy, harsh, unpleasant. Taste is sharp, acetaldehyde, glue, booze, roasty, alcohol tastes spirit-like, more like it's an added alcohol than an intensified beer.
