Clear amber - brown beer, tiny tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft creamy malts, tiny bit of caramel. Smooth fruity bourbon, touch of oak induced vanilla. A little ripe fruit and modest tingling spice on the smooth finish. Nice BBA barleywine and pretty drinkable but it never really sings.

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2019 Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from 'Het Biermoment', bottled in November 2016, cellared for almost two-and-a-half years. Slightly hazy, dark brownish amber. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of molasses, caramel, raisins, vanilla and bourbon. Gently sweet, malty, slightly bitter, moderately fruity taste of caramel, molasses, dark honey, vanilla, raisins and bourbon, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, warming and a bit boozy finish. Full body, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty, not too aggressive, still a little one-dimensional.

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2019 Minimale Karbonisierung. Stak alkoholischer, süß malziger Beginn, holzig. Bourbon, ziemlich süffig, intensiv. Langer, zum Ende eher säuerlicher Abgang. 8/9/8/9/10/9

UPDATED: DEC 24, 2018 Dark brown colour, beige foam. Sweet nose of plums, dried fruit, lots of bourbon. Taste is boozy, lots of bourbon, sweet, malty. Nice sipper.

No panie, ten aromat to rozkłada na łopatki. Moze i nieco jednowymiarowy, ale ta beczka, ten burbon, piękny słodki intensywny aromat, cudo. Niby można wyczuć jakis tam karmel, owoce i inne chuje-muje, ale ta beczka rządzi bezapelacyjnie. Mętne lekko to piwo, slodkie, beczkowe ale i mało intensywne (w odróżnieniu od aromatu), trochę za mało sie dzieje, zbyt takie gładkie to wszystko. Alkohol lekko rozgrzewa jedynie i generalnie warto, choćby dla tego aromatu.

Barwa miedziana, mocno zmętniona, piana drobnopęcherzykowa, trwała. Aromat bardzo bogaty, słodki, rodzynki, figi, kandyzowane owoce, ogólnie mocno winna nuta. Do tego oczywiście mocna beczka. W smaku bardzo pełne, gęste, słodkie a przy tym niesamowicie gładkie. Alkohol trochę wyczuwalny, ale w żaden sposób nie przeszkadza.
