UPDATED: JUL 5, 2022 Rubinowe, klarowne, z niedużą, kremową pianką. W zapachu susz, kandyzowane owoce, karmel, lekka wanilina, dębina, whisky. W smaku umiarkowanie słodkie, rodzynkowe, orzechowe, waniliowe, miodowe, z niedużą, ziołowo-migdałową goryczką. Oleiste, z niskim co2, trochę za wysokie alko, ale całość pięknie skomponowana, więc nie wadzi.

UPDATED: JUN 17, 2021 Bottle from 16 Tun in Auckland. Clear chestnut with a small off-white head. Aroma is super nice and intense, port, toffee, sherry, whiskey, vanilla, dates. Flavor is big medium sweet toffee and overripe fruits with a boozy vanilla nutty finish. Fairly full body, some heat, low carbonation. Very nice b-wizz from down under that I wish made it to up over.

UPDATED: JUN 17, 2021 Alluring boozy plum pudding aroma in a hazy ruby brown pour. Sublime taste of rich preserved fruit and nuts aged on wood is both complex and subtle. A bottle of this will only get better with age.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2020 Pours deepest ruby, porter-like. Sandy cploured dense head. Err, barleywine flavour. Malt, dried apricot, vanilla, sultanas, oak and bourbon with a late boozy quality. Long finish with no change of flavour profile. Nice, way overpriced.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2019 Vintage 2018, bottle 458/1000. Hazy chestnut cookout, foamy light beige head with nice retention. Lots of layered complexity and sweetness going on with toffee, caramel, dried fruits, sweet vanilla bourbon, porto vinous, praline, nutty, nicely boozy in the finish. Big porto toffee bourbon finish: very well balanced. Huge body, pleasantly medium carbonated, rounded mouthfeel.

UPDATED: DEC 8, 2019 Kereru Paloma BA Barleywine 14.3% Deep ruddy brown with a huge gig & stone fruit aroma. Lots of bourbon caramel sweetness. Medium bodied finishing quite dry with a sharp bitter finish after a huge woodsy barrel seeet caramel fudge start. Nice stuff with good heat.

UPDATED: MAR 9, 2019 It's not the prettiest of beer pours a muddy murky brown red with no head. The aroma is on point though, steeped fruits. The taste is fantastic, rich full and there's a heat at the finish to keep you from wandering off in a blissful haze.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2019 Bottle shared by MrOrla, thanks. Clear amber body with a small offwhite head. Toffee, dark fruits, ripe fruits, some bitter notes, oak, wood, alcohol notes. Good.

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2019 Tap. Pours deep hazy Brown quite frothy head. Aroma of karamel, quite heavy wood, slight coconut alike, quite some toffee, a bit spicey wood. Taste is toffee, spicey, sweet, light bitter, quite some barrel, quite dryish.
