33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Edrinks, Eindhoven. Clear dark brown with an off-white head. Hoppy aroma and loads of caramel, raisins and some licorice. Sweet taste with a sweet boozy finish. Reminds me a bit of the Ongelovige Thomas which has a similar caramel and hops combo in my opinion. Great beer.

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Pours hazy dark brown with a lasting, thick, frothy, off-white head. Aroma of orange peel, red apple, dates, brioche, caramel, almond, pink grapefruit, pear. Taste is medium malty sweet, caramelly & biscuity with fruity notes of apple, pear, fig, dates, bitter hoppy middle of grapefruit & orange peel, a bit herbal with a sourish undercurrent. Dryish, herbal, almost a tad piney hoppy finish, lingering biscuit, bitter fruit rinds & warming liqueur alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Very nice, almost Black IPA-ish at times, but Barley Wine character prevails.

10E17. Bittersweet, with a good dose of hops. Not the freshest, so some of the aromas will have lessened. Not like most barleywines, more bitter, but still not something I go out of my way for. Very thin. Not bad, not great.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from 'Speciaalbierpakket.nl', bottled in December 2016. Clear, dark brownish amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity-resiny aroma of caramel, raisins and pine. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, fruity-resiny taste of caramel, molasses, raisins, prunes and some pine, followed by a medium long, quite bitter, resiny finish. Medium to full body, slightly oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice!
