Bottle from Stacks. Cloudy black, no head. Aroma of chocolate sauce, dark fudge, brown sugar, dried banana, pear, vanilla, rum. Taste has sweet banana, pear & date in a dark-chocolatey, brown-sugary, vanilla-ish malt body with some phenolic notes. Soft herbal hops in the finish, very chocolatey (pralines with liqueur), warming liqueur- & rum-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Sharp rum is present but not too boozy. Good.

T: sweetish mango, sourish passion- & dragon fruit, pomegrenate, jam-like maltiness.
F: tart pomegrenate pits & passion fruit.
P: medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation.
Gimmicky, but better than your average 'fruit juice contender'.

Can from Stacks. Hazy yellow, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of papaya, pine, starfruit, grape, dough, scallion. Taste has sweetish papaya & pineapple, spicy pepper & scallion in a doughy malt body. Floral & peppery hops in the finish, lingering juicy stone fruit, spicy pine, scallion, onion. Medium body, fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Quite a spicy hoppiness but managing to remain balanced. Good.

Bottle from Stacks. Hazy amber-brown, thinning, off-white head. Aroma of Marsala, bourbon, sherry, pralines with liqueur, old milk chocolate, hazelnut oil, candied plum, date, 'kramiek', pecan pie, nail polish, apothecary. Taste has very sweet prune, date & ripe pear with a touch of banana in a hazelnutty, caramelly, slightly milk-chocolatey malt body; some spicy phenols. Soft herbal hops in the finish, quickly dominated by medicinal and dried fruit notes, woody vanilla and quite boozy bourbon & liqueur alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, flat carbonation. Just a tad too boozy but in itself a firm and structured malt-forward Barley Wine.

T: sweetish prune, fondant, spicy aniseed, some coffee.

Quite herbal, turning towards a rather unpleasant bitterness in the end. Too messy.
