Piana kremowa, średnio trwała, barwa miedziana, opalizująca. Aromat to czysta poezja, zwłaszcza dla miłośników wanilii, do których się zaliczam. Jest to po prostu wanilinowa bomba, do tego rodzynki, syrop klonowy, figi i karmel, w tle delikatne taniny, kokos i bourbon. Cudo! W smaku lekkie rozczarowanie - piwo nie jest słodkie, owszem, sporo tu słodowości i tego co w zapachu, ale jest też winna kwaskowatość, pestkowa cierpkość, migdałowa goryczka i spora alkoholowość na finiszu, co łącznie powoduje spory dysonans. Niskie, drobne wysycenie, oleista konsystencja, długie posmaki i morze wanilii...
To chyba najpiękniej pachnące piwo, jakie do tej pory dane mi było zdegustować. Zarazem jedno z niewielu, gdzie rozdźwięk między słodkim, wanilinowym aromatem i taniczno alkoholowym smakiem jest tak wyraźny... Trochę szkoda.
Smells of wet dog, and taste is semi-sweet/sour. The abv is a plus and a warning reason to drink the brew. Palate is tart cherry, strawberryish and the malty finish saves this concoction. Not my fav but it is a decent mid-week pour.
Rating #2548 - 2016.05.05 - Draught at Bruery event at Bainbridge during CBC in Philly Hazy orange-brown pour, bubbly head, not much lacing. Aroma is hot, alcohol, pastry dough, burnt sugar, orange rind. Taste is a bit boozy, tempered with burnt sugar sweetness, and some earthy, molasses, and chalky bitter notes.
Un délicieux produit partagé lors du 5@7 pré-souper-du-personnel. Belle robe foncée, satinée, tête correcte. Le liquide valse voluptueusement dans mon verre sans sembler trop riche ni lourd. Arômes d’orge très céréalier qui me plaisent moins que les saveurs. Ces dernière présentent un profil beaucoup plus complexes où le bourbon est magnifiquement balancé, le grain plaisant et le caramel en feu. Effervescence plus que correcte, sucre résiduel modéré mais présent. Je ne ressens aucunement les 12,5% d’alcool. Mon palais s’alourdit alors que je termine mon premier verre mai qu’à cela ne tienne, je m’en offre un deuxième!
Unique flavor but not sure that I like this style overall. Not worth $20/bottle.
Flaska från Beergium, vintage 2015. Mörkbrun, halvmurken med litet beige/brun/vitt skum. Stor, söt doft av torkad frukt, bourbon, kandisocker, lönnsirap, banankola, banana skids, bränt socker, nötiga toner, kolaremmar och en lätt laktostouch. Stor, maffig kropp. Även i smaken stor sötma med bourbon, malt, massor av torkad frukt, lönnsirap, övermoget äpple, ek och fatkaraktär, värmande alkohol, vanilj, plommon och kolaremmar. Smaskigt och sött efter förväntningarna.

Bottle@Bottle Shop, Bjerringbro. Pours dark amber with an off white head. Aroma and taste is malt, bourbon, caramel, dark dried fruits, wood, vanilla. Full body. Soft carbonation. Oily texture. Nice fruity finish.
Definitely some caramel and fruit notes complemented by a slight bourbon undertone and some woody nuances. However, the beer was so tangy and acidic as to be off-putting. Honestly, my first thought was that it must have been infected, though both bottles our group opened were identical. Others have commented on the tang without believing it to be a problem. However, no appropriate English-style barleywine should have that character. Although I generally love The Bruery’s products, due to its acidity this beer was hugely disappointing.

Bottled. Pours slightly hazy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of toasted caramel, bourbon, vanilla and dried dark fruits. Sweet flavor that ends up being more dry and slightly bitter. Medium bodied, oily texture and soft carbonation. An excellent Barley. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Shared 750ml bottle. 2015 edition. Hazy amber with a light beige head. Some floating sediments present. Aroma of malt, bourbon, oak and toffee. Taste is similar to nose with some caramel and booze. Finish is somewhat sweet and boozy. Nice.
Aroma: lots of bourbon but not too overwhelming; Appearance: dark amber with lots of particulates suspended mid-glass; Taste: nicely complex with bourbon up front that mellows into wood, caramel and vanilla; significant booziness; Palate: very heavy body with long, sweet finish; Overall: quite good, although intense. Would get again if not so expensive.
Bottle at tasting event. Pours amber. Aroma and flavor are rich bready malts, light floral hops, caramel, light toast, and some booze. Full body.
Bottle at RBESG 2016 Grand Tasting Part 2, Brew Pub Le Sec. Hazy amber with an off white head. Aroma of big malt, butterscotch, vanilla, caramel. Flavour is heavy sweet. Full bodied with an alcohol burn in the finish and soft carbonation. [10-07-2016]
750ml bottle from Saveur-Biere. Oravankolo tasting.
Reddish colour, bourbon, dark fruits, allright.
Bottle. Moderate to heavy roasted, caramel and bread for the malt, moderate orange for the hops, light dough for the yeast, with date, fig and maple syrup in the background. Head is small, frothy, white with fair lacing and good legs, and is mostly lasting. Color is clear burgundy. Flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes moderately to heavily acidic and lightly bitter. Palate is medium to full, syrupy with a soft to lively carbonation and a moderately alcoholic finish. A lot of depth and complexity, but nothing over the top in this Barley Wine.
