The Abstrakt series continues to tantalise your taste buds with the latest member of the family, AB:11.

AB:11 is an imperial black barley wine brewed with ginger, black raspberries and chipotle peppers. A 12.8% rollercoaster of ginger zestiness, chipotle smokiness all bound together with dark berry tartness and the decadent residual body of a black barley wine.

Like all Abstrakt beers, AB:11 pushes the boundaries and challenges the perception of what beer is and what it can be. Brewed only once, AB:11 is excellent for drinking now, but also designed to be cellared for future enjoyment.

Malty sticky beginning. Fresh with lots of malt, The ginger is there, the peppers as well. Hints of dried fruit, plums, probably the raspberries as well. Round, refreshing, easy to drink for the ABV, lots of chocolate roasted malt, no alcohol tasteable. Fantastic great brew! Smooth, round absolutely great!

Sampled from 0.375 l bottle. Dark reddish brown with some beige bubbles on top. Sweetish, malty and quite fruity aroma of raisins, blackcurrant, plums and licorice. Sweetish-malty, spicy and moderately fruity taste of caramel, raisins, lots of licorice, plums and some chocolate, followed by a long, slightly bitter, spicy and rather warming-alcoholic finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Way too spicy, absolutely unbalanced.

(Bottle) Black colour with brief, bubbly head. Malty, roasted, spicy nose with ginger, liquorice, strong black coffee, soy sauce, cacao, treacle, a hint of smoke, juniper berries and pine needles. Malty, spicy taste with liquorice, soy sauce, ginger, a touch of chilli, espresso, dark chocolate, juniper berries, pine needles, honey and a finish with a smoky chilli touch and a warming alcohol glow. Full body, quite sweet, with a gentle coffee bitterness. Complex, spicy and tasty, but hardly subtle. Very nice.

From the very old notes, hence this is not a real rating, but more just a mark to myself that I have tried this at one point. Bitter beer with a lot of notes of chocolate, body is rather thin for such a big beer.

Bottle sample at Beer Market TLV. Thanks Stas. Dark brown. Aroma of malt, caramel, dark fruits, lots of ginger and alcohol. Sweet and umami flavor with caramel, soy sauce, dark fruits, ginger, and a finish with alcohol and spicy chipotle. Boozy and syrupy mouthfeel.
