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.

33cl bottle, which is actually double bottle capped and I have never seen or even heard of this before, pours with a clear deep ruby red body that supports a light tan head. The aroma offers up sweet musty prunes and figs as well as pine nuanced caramel malts and a mineral sense at the end of the draw. There’s surprisingly little of the big 11% ABV coming through. The taste is very barleywine like with sweet malts and sticky pine hops, some caramel malts and then murmurs of cherry and prune sweet fruity esters in the background. There is a hop note in there too but I’m struggling to put words to it. There’s lingering pine hops that show up into the after taste. Like the nose the booziness is well restrained in this big big beer. Dandy sipper.

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.
