A barley wine that is a tribute to Dionysus. Aged in a newly charred French oak barrel for two years and made entirely of pale malt, this beer blurs the line between oxidases wine and beer into something special.

Leneus je člen dionysovy družiny, patron šlapání vína. Středně silný barley wine, který dozrával v nově vypáleném sudu z francouzského dubu po dobu dvou let. Pivo vyrobené pouze ze světlého sladu, které ale díky dlouhému varu a na sledujícímu zrání nabylo výrazné jantarové barvy, stejně jako tony sušeného ovoce a šťavnatou navinulost, které připomi mail sherry. Nespoutanost šlape po moci hranici průlivů a když na britské barley wine útočí flanderský pivní "caractère vineus", rozmlží se hranice mezi pivem a oxidativním vínem.

0.75l bottle at Base Camp. Greyish pale brown body, fleeting white head. Ugly, huge old rubbery oxidized aroma, bit nutty, some ancient raisins, enormously minerally, some sauerkraut. But not like infection maybe, just... the weird minerally barrel-oxidation combo. Tart, lean, dry, smokey, meaty, but sourish taste, some dried fruit, sure, technically well hidden alcohol, sure, but... No... no no no.... This is so failed it's not even funny. And for just 11€/0.75l. Damn...if you like a cabbage with some bacon pieces in your barleywine, this is just for you.

2.8.2025. Bottle at Base Camp. Tragically brutally oxidated. Pity, because otherwise it is not entirely bad. Nice medium woodiness and med-light wild barnyard. But mostly just overwhelmingly estery, overripe, light acetic. Meh. 4,9.

24.4.2026. Bottle at Lya Beer Cafe (pic). A bit better now. Unnaturally oily texture, low carbo. Med sweet, med-light sour, light tart. Shitloads of dried fruits, med-light caramel. Light funk. Basically fails in all the ways - not a worthy sour, nor barley wine, nor wood beer, nor nothing. 5,9.
