A barley wine brewed in the English style. Struis is a full-bodied beer with a deep, dark colour and a soft, long-lasting head. The aroma is dark and sweet, with clear tones of chocolate and dried fruit. The aftertaste is dry and long-lasting, and leaves you yearning for more. Struis is only available as a bottled beer.

Marrón, casi opaca. Espuma beige que desaparece a los pocos minutos. Aroma licórico, con notas de chocolate. En boca presenta cuerpo moderado, gas presente y tono igualmente licórico, con un sabor malteado, miel, caramelo, fruto seco. Final sabroso y y licórico.

Pours a dark coppery brown color, topped with a semi-large and very creamy tan colored head. Mild aroma of chocolate, some hints of caramel notes, a bit biscuity as well. Some dry fruit presence, prunes? Taste is sweet, a bit too sweet and malty actually, chocolate and caramel feel. Very creamy with a bit of warming alcohol feel. Not a bad one, though a bit too strong and sweet. Still doable.

Sterke zoete smaak. Beetje mandarijn?

Flaska från Saveur Bieré. Smak och doft av humle, malt, karamell, farinsocker, plommon med toner av choklad och röda bär. Mer åt en mastig Brown Ale än en Barley Wine. Men gott var det!

Very dark brown. Rocky tan froth. Aroma is very low: dough, bread, coffee, grape, caramel. Thin, too sour, light body, short finish. Disappointing.

Review based on the BJCP2008 guidelines (style 19B). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 223 09188. AROMA: initial stale aroma like moldy or wet cardboard, with faint vinous and a sweet background. APPEARANCE: very dark copper with slight ruby highlights and hazy. medium beige head with medium-low retention. alcohol viscosity and lacing present. TASTE: slight oxidation flavours (wet cardboard) mixed with faint mold, sweet maltiness and a vinous aspect. low bitterness with a semi-sweet and roasted finish. no hop flavours. PALATE: full body with a velvety texture and medium carbonation. smooth alcohol warmth. OVERALL: a barley wine with defect flavours and aromas.
