My idea of a strong ale was brewed with loads of malt, hops, jaggery and a touch of manuka smoke. It was fermented with a clean ale yeast to let the ingredients speak for themselves without getting interrupted by too many esters. After all that it was aged for 5 months on American oak, then refermented in the bottle.

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 9 | Overall: 9

    330 ml bottle from BCLDB Nordel Crossing, marked down from almost double this. I should've bought all they had, knowing what I know now. Dark orange pour, cloudy, under a creamy tan head. No lacing but it did make a ring. Aroma was most barleywine-ish, lots of alcohol and malt, maybe dark fruit. Tastes like a barleywine, too. Strong flavour, no hiding the 11% ABV, along with the dark fruit - raisins, caramel, and a suggestion but no more than that of smokiness. Creamy smooth mouthfeel. 75 IBU's, but bitterness is well disguised. Alcohol and caramel finish. This packed a hell of a kick for a small bottle.
