3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Blind tasting at Yespr
Cloudy brown color, no head. Sweet aroma, caramel and malt, and very nice vanilla oak, and mellow wood. The body is quite strong, also sweet but not as the sweetest Barley Wines, actually the accent is more on the nutty malts; notes of wood and vanilla; the bitterness is strong, dry, with a sharply nutty final; but there is an excessive alcohol presence, almost throat burning, not very pleasant. The sweetness is lost in the strong alcoholic and bitter final. Controversial.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, 16%. Roasted aroma, hint of tartness. Vinous note, must be barrelled, perhaps wine barrel. Cloudy very dark red/brown colour. No head to speak of. The flavour is powerful, not surprising considering the ABV. Very rough alcohol flavour, burning finish. Some sweetness, a little vanilla. Citric note from the barrel. Very late roasted note, very vinous, but not in the oxidised way. Quite flat, not much carbonation. Mouthfeel is actually rather thin.
