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.

Bottle from Hopduvel. Hazy brown, stable, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of ripe passion fruit & blue plum, red grape, forest fruit jam, wood, dessert wine, cherry, almond. Taste has sweetish cherry & blue plum and sour passion fruit & blackcurrant in an almondy, jam-like, tad caramelly malt body surrounded by funky lactic notes. Tart finish of cherry stone, grape skin, tannic wood effects continued by warming red wine-like alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Outspoken yet balanced; noble character, delicious.
