UPDATED: OCT 6, 2021 341ml Bottle come from 2019 (I think?). One year aging in cellar. No i jest swietne, oplacilo sie. Jest to w tym stylu jesli chodzi o piane, chyba jedno z wiekszych jakie spotkalem. niesamowicie trwala, sporo czasu uplynelo nim opadla i mozna bylo degustowac, niemal wiecej czasu niz ilosci wozow wywiezionych wyladowanymi kosztownosciami z Wawelskiego skarbca, a wozow bylo az 362, oczywiscie przez szwedow. barwa miedziano-rozana, lekko metnawa, pachnie zgniecionymi sliwkami lub kompotem z nich. truskawki, maliny, nieco karmelu, odrobinka jakis przypraw orientalnych i sporo amerykanskiego chmielu. Swietnie to i umiejetnie sparowali. slodycz mniesza sie z chmielna wytrawnoscia. alko ukryte, niestety nie daje rozgrania jak slabsza w alkohol Ola Dubh wczorajsza. ale i tak dobre to kanadyjskie barley wine.
