Bouteille 25cl de BBP Taproom, bottled 15/10/2018. Un petit temps que je me devais de l'ouvrir. Couleur acajou-ambre, col beige-jaunâtre, doré et huileux au verre. Arôme tombe sous le joug d'un barley plutôt anglais - pas mal de malts crystal, caramel Fruité - coing, jus de raisin - un peu Vin Jaune ou Gewurzstaminer - douceur mais avec le bouquet de vendange et autres fruits secs. Palais est doux, alcool bien présent, impression de fruits fermentés, douceur latente rappelant le coing voire la poire, date sur malt pâle, cara Munich et Marris Otter. Petite touche d'esters de banane et levure. Amertume fine en fin de bouche - alcool de Cognac ajoute une certaine fraîcheur et extra alcool. Note oxydée le tout collant aux lèvres.

Clear amber beer, a few cream colour bubbles. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft fluffy malts belie the abv weight. Soft creamy malts. Quite a bitter caramel, softens as the beer has a chance to breathe. Soft fruity cognac. Little wet wood. Softer caramel on the finish along with bruised citrus and rich dried fruits. Light but developing salted caramel. This was wonky and sharp when first opened, made me wince. Ten minutes of breathing have utterly transformed this one in to the smooth sumptuous treat that it is. Lovely and a complete contrast to the red wine ba abortion that I had the misfortune to try before this. Quite a contrast!

Barleywine aged for a year and a half in cognac barrels, in the limited barrel series by BBP. Thanks tderoeck for sharing. Egg-white, pale yellowish beige head, thin and open with ‘veils’ of greyish foam remaining in the middle, misty mahogany brown robe with ruddy-coppery hue. Candied, perfumey, very inviting aroma of candied fig, plum wine, melting caramel, brown bread, toffee, clear cognac, wood ‘vanilla’, sweetbread, raisins, Parfait Amour liqueur, brownies. Fruity onset, lots of candied fig, cherry and plum aspects, soft carb, full and soft, ‘fluffy’ mouthfeel though perhaps less vinous than I tend to expect from a barleywine, but pleasant all the same; full toffeeish maltiness, sweet with caramelly edges, bready, with lingering sugary sweetness leading to a warming finish in which toasty bitterish notes go alongside woody tannins (drying a bit and releasing lovely vanilla-ish aspects retronasally), some clove-like and estery-fruity yeasty notes, lingering breadiness and of course the expected afterglow of warming, obviously very cognac-flavoured alcohol, while everything remains notably sweet. Sweet English style barleywine – complex and desserty, but also too yeasty for the intended style and in that sense very quadrupel-like as well. Would happily revisit – or age.
