Bouteille 33cl, batch 11, BB 12/2019. Cuivrée, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme est marqué par les belles effluves de Porto, pointe de barrique, vin rouge avec un rétro-nasal malté crystal et ponctué par qcq notes de houblons plutôt américains - agrumes et léger résineux. Palais met de suite le doigt sur l'effet des 12%, barrique est bien là et donne une belle note du porto, douceur de mat caramel et crystal pour un fini presque sirupeux. Touche de fruits noirs plus vin rouge, amertume perce sur la fin et offre de fines notes d'agrumes.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', bottled in December 2016. Slightly hazy, dark amber with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity and a bit boozy aroma of molasses, caramel, some raisins and a touch of green apples. Quite sweet, malty, slightly fruity taste of caramel, molasses, raisins, prunes, vanilla and some green apples, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, boozy finish. Medium to full body, slightly oily and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay, but typically green apple BA.

Bottle from het Biermoment, BB 01/22, 33 cl sample. Almost clear copper color, medium frothy head. Aroma of lots of raisin, definite port wine and some maltiness from the barley wine. Tannine bitterness and raisin sweetness in taste, lots of port coming through. Carried by a firm malty barley wine body. Its exactly what it says it is, a big barley wine on a port barrel. I like it.

Bottle. Ruby color with beige head. Aroma is prunes, raisins, phenolic, schnapspraline, port, getting more and more gluey over time. Taste is raisins, malty, prunes, schnapspraline. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation, warming finish. Excellent, but only if you don't smell it for too long.
