We all know that gentleman prefer blondes, but this is a different ball game. Easy on the eyes, but on the “heavy side” giving the 12,5% ABV. This original Blonde Beer is oak barrel aged for a very smooth finish and enlightens the slightly darker character, which makes it a true Dirty Blonde.

Tap at the Dutch bar bermondsey. A light hazed caramel orange coloured pour with a lasting off white head. Aroma is big tart apple, barrel funk, calvedos, some lacto. Bark. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, tangy, apple, musty vinous funk, caramel, brown sugars, light tangy fruit. Palate is semi sweet, light tang, woody tannin, mellow carbonation. Quite interesting.

A reddish-brown beer, a head is quite big and light beige. Aroma has fruitness, which is mainly dried fruits, prune, barrel. Taste has dried fruits, prune, some raisins and ripe banana, barrel. Full bodied, high carbonation. The big beer should be more nuanced and complex.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of dried fruit, wood, toasted malt, red wine, must and yeast. Pours cloudy brown color with large frothy tan-like head, yeast particles floating and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet toasted malt and tart fruitiness, following is vinous, woody, grassy and yeasty, mouthfeel is warm alcoholic, while finish is light to medium bitter. Full body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Dirty blondes are cool…

Intensiver, süß-säuerlicher Beginn. Viel helles Malz, die süß-saure Komponente bleibt konstant, der Alkohol ist gut verborgen. Schwer! 10/8/8/10/8/8

Après un passage en fût de chêne, cette Heavy Dirty Blonde est bien gentillette ou plutôt éparpillée façon puzzle avec une aigreur prononcée qui peut naître dans certain cas (que ce soit avec des fûts uniquement de chêne ou ayant déjà servi pour des alcools quelconques). Le résultat est donc des arômes aigres de barrique aux relents vineux qui dominent avec un alcool pourtant à 12,5 % qui devient totalement absent. Le visuel est très sympathique avec un joli ambré limpide surmonté d'une mousse blanc cassé d'un cm. Le nez est d'emblée sur le fût, aigrelet et vineux. On retrouve cette aigreur à l'attaque avec de faibles arômes de miel qui complètent la palette aromatique. En deuxième bouche une petite douceur et l'alcool essayent de lutter contre l'aigreur mais ceux-ci explosent totalement en seconde bouche et sur le final. Ni heavy en complexité, ni heavy en équilibre, ni heavy en puissance.

Draft. A dark amber beer with a huge lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of yeast, over ripe fruits, wood, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast, alcohol, wood, candy sugar, malt, and dried fruits, leading to a dry finish.
