Nasce da un “pensiero perverso” di Teo e da anni di ricerca. Una birra ad alta fermentazione che ha subito un processo di macro ossidazione e una maturazione in botti di rovere che le donano profumi di datteri, caramello e un delicato ricordo di legno. Al bicchiere si presenta priva di gasatura e schiuma con note di colore bruno con riflessi ramati
Xyauyù Barrel is the result of a “wicked idea” of Teo’s and years of research. It is a top-fermented beer which has gone through macrooxidation and has been aged in oak rum barrels to give it scents of dates, caramel and a delicate wooden note. When poured, it has no head and no gas; it has a dark color with copper nuances.

100mL bottle pour at Baladin Camden, pours a deep dark mahogany, no head. Aroma is subtly rum-forward, with complex dark fruits, toffee, caramelized sugars, mmm. Flavour is remarkably rich and refined, with lots of high-quality rum presence, some wood, toffee, dark fruits, and a tinge of soy sauce. Certainly one of the best rum barrel aged beers I've had, if not the best. Wonderful.

On tap. Pours a very dark mahogany with no head. Aromas of dark caramel, oak, tobacco, bourbon and toasted malts. Flavors follow same; nicely integrated. Warm finish. Excellent.

Bottled. Rubyish brown colour with a small off white head. Aroma is alcohol, some berries, fruits, mild toffee and some sweet nectary and nutty tones. Flavour is quite boozy with some Madeira sweetness, wood, some toffee, a bit alcohol and a bit berries and fudgeish caramel to it.

[10/14/13] Draught at Open Baladin in Rome. 13.5%. Lovely deep red amber color. Big malty aroma, somewhat alcoholic, with lots of dark fruits, vinous notes, some wood and caramel. Sweet malty flavor with dark fruits, liqueur, toffee, caramel, a bit of vanilla, cookie notes and warming alcohol. Medium to full-bodied, kinda oily. A nice Barley Wine.

Barrique, botticella nº 88, bevuta al termine del tour guidato domenicale del birrificio Baladin Open Garden e birra chiamata dalla guida, scherzosamente ma con molta convinzione, il Corpo di Teo. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è inesistente. Il colore è ambrato rossiccio carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è molto elevata e la permanenza è duratura. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato si riportano impressioni di frutta secca, vino Passito, marsala, rabarbaro, etilico, caldo, alcol presente, vino Porto, vaniglia e legno di botte di rum.

500ml bottle. 2013 & 2016 vintages. Heavy, intense with prunes and figs with some sherry and port notes. Still not the biggest fan of these. 2016 is a bit better than 2013. More stingy wood and raisin notes.
