  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

With thanks to @Cricken
Not bad, nice mild smoke. Enjoying a lot more than the last one I had, that one must have been too wet or something.

Edit: I'm really digging this one. Nice gradual increase in flavor intensity and really hitting all the right boxes for me. Rich texture, overall sweet, no sinus bite, great aroma. I like it. Reminds me of the last NC Montecristo I had. A great mild cigar.

Not overpowering the homebrew Belgian either. 10+%abv, could be artificially enhancing my perceptions. ..

ISO: home brew barleywine.;)
Not proud enough of this recipe to share fresh. Needs age according to no hard data beyond my gut. Drew up the recipe to try for a different character after simple bottle ageing. Bottled a bunch and stuck it in the cellar. If the experiment pans out I'll fjnd you. Last batch I did like this took two years to be where I wanted it.
