3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
2L growler @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen courtesy of Tderoeck. Really nice looking Oranje growler.
Couleur acajou, presque pas de col, seules qcq bulles beige percent la surface.
Arôme est faible pour un barley, note de malt caramel, un léger houblon s’en ressort mais ne contribue pas vraiment à développer la bière. En bouche, je note plus de fruits noirs allant vers la prune. Côté caramélisé/toffee sur un sucre léger Petite pointe de malt chocolaté sur la fin Le tout est agréable mais sans révolutionner le style

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Giant 2 litre “bidon” sampled @ RBWG 2012 – thx to sebletitje – slightly scared about getting into the discussion whether that thing is ugly or a work of art but I think that it is clumsy & the colour makes it look like it is made from plastic – pours a Bordeaux slight purple, an odd colour that seems to be screaming barley wine at me, brief small off-white head (aggressive pour), smells like sweet caramel & dried dark fruits with some bitter spices, taste is sweet caramel, touch syrup, dark fruit, bitter spices, slight vinous, bit rubbery candy quality, some syrup sugar, booze, slick & soft carb, easy going barley wine
