UPDATED: MAY 27, 2019 330ml bottle online from the brewery. Found recently at the back of the fridge. Pours lightly hazed ruby brown with a dissipating tan head. Aroma: rich malts, dried fruits, caramel. Taste: light to moderate sweet & moderate bitter, nutty, dark fruits, toffee, spices. Assertively bitter finish. Medium bodied with light carbonation. It's not bad but lacks the complexity i'd expect in a 5yo barleywine

330ml bottle from Brewdog.com (£2.50):
A nice Brewdog beer, probably the best in their Russian Doll series with good hops & tropical fruits on the nose before the dark ones took over come the taste. It was an easy beer to drink despite the strength & I liked it, although I’m not sure I’d want to see it as a regular offering.

Bij Mrk. Zoet en bitter. En meer heb ik er niet over opgeschreven. Backlog from 2015/04/29.
