Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een troebel amberkleurig bier, zonder schuim en koolzuur. (Wordt netjes op de fles vermeld). Het heeft een aroma van honing, cognac en vanille. De smaak is vol, zoet, honing, rozijnen en cognac.

Hazy reddish amber beer, short lived bubbly tan head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Overall, could have a more sumptuous mouthfeel. Smooth caramel malts, some creamy sweetness underneath but no real depth or complexity. This then is barleywine that only serves the barrel but it does it well enough. Rich winey ripe fruits go well with some barrell induced vanilla. A little spice on the smooth finish. Tidy if unspectacular.

Black with thin soapy head. Aroma and flavour have Tonka but relatively light, still drinkable. Very light smoky element. Lots of wood in aroma bit not really any obvious rum. A bit thin

Looks like a creamy coffee! Begins quite full, roasted and bitter but does fade away quickly and get thinnish in the finish.

Black pour with no carbonation. There's elements in this of dark berries with a slight acidity and a certain bitterness like blackcurrants. Lots of woody dryness too. Subtle whisky warmth in the background. A tad thin and watery though for a big stout.

Bottle. Color: Murky orangish brown, little particles floating around in the glass. No head. Aroma: Malty, caramel, red wine. Taste: Malty, quite smooth wheat malt, caramel, notes of dark fruit, vinuous, red wine, oak wood. Boozy. Over medium body, very low carbonation. Over moderate sweet, light bitterness. Would benefit from some more carbonation, in my opinion. Ok.

Täitsa flat - mulle see sobib. Selline mõnus tammine, linnaseline ja viskine jook/kokteil.

0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', bottled in March 2020. Hazy, very dark brown to black with a thin, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty and a little fruity aroma of chocolate, coffee, some caramel and a touch of dark fruits. Quite sweet, malty, moderately roasty and slightly fruity taste of chocolate, caramel, coffee, raisins, some nuts and a touch of port, followed by a medium long, moderately roasty-bitter, a bit warming finish. Medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Pleasant beer, not too deep and quite sweet but also relatively easily drinkable.

Bottle. Color: Black, thin beige head. Aroma: Roasted malt, mocha, coffee. Sweetish. Hnts of nuts. Taste: Roasted malt, caramel, some coffee / mocha, some nuts and some grape. Spicy and salty notes. Slightly sour., hints of citrus. Lightly boozy. Although I can't match Balvenie with salty notes, acoording to the internet, the term salty keeps coming in my mind. Just over medium body, below average carbonation. Bit creamy mouthfeel, Quite unusual barrel for barrel ageing. Personally I think it's missing some usual (for a Stout) roasted malt and I don't really like the 'salty' part of it. Overall ok though.
