Another acquisition from a Dutch retailer, fortunate to have this one. The 33 cl bottle is getting opened and going into my Straffe Hendrik tulip glass. The view is a cola brown liquid with a very small ring of taupe bubbles. I find the scent inviting, dark fruit, grain, some yeastiness working its way up, all good. The taste is solid but not extraordinary. Malt, dates, wheat bread, leather, earth and sorghum. More bitter than sweet. Decent.

Clear deep amber beer, small bubbly tan head that doesn't last long. Smooth palate, light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Thin malts, thin creamy caramel that isn't too sweet. The PX barrel is .. alright, coulda been bolder. It's a kinda damp and watered down PX but hey, it's still PX and brings it's rich dark sherry savoury vibe, just not as intensely delivered as it could have been. A little vanilla oak. The back end reveals a little of the quad base beer, ripe fruits and mild esters. Not bad but promised more.

Hazy amber brown beer, short lived bubbly tan head. Fairly light palate, mildly dry, the carbonation is there, just, flirting with flat is this beer. Smooth caramel malts, not that sweet. Wet wood in the mid. Rounded cognac, ripe and fruity on the back. A kind of nothing finish. Like the barrelling here but the barleywine backbone is both fairly flat and lacks any depth whatsoever.

Almost clear deep red amber beer, small pale tan head. Obvious caramel malt nose. Smooth airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Quite a simple malt bill for a barleywine. So really a bit too simple. Caramel malts, a little malt cream. Some ripe fruits bring up the back end and energise this somewhat, some mild ripe berries and bruised orchard fruits as well. Light semi dry finish shows a little alcohol spice. Overall it is a simplistic bw but there is enough going on here to make it a good beery companion.
