Mash & Vanilla is an ode to a classic from The Bruery. A bourbon barrel-aged barleywine-style base provides a well-matured, oaky and sweet bourbon foundation, while the addition of vanilla beans brings prominent and savory vanilla sensation to the forefront of your palate with every sip. Enjoy fresh for the most full-bodied vanilla character.

Vom Fass (Vintage 2018) im Muted Horn Berlin 2019-02 getrunken. Dieses Barley Wine hat ein fettes Vanilie-Aroma in der Nase und am Gaumen. Das Bourbon BA ist für ein The Bruery recht verhalten oder versteckt sich hinter dem massiven Vanilie-Aroma. Am Gaumen wirkt dieses 2018er noch recht unreif und kommt mit einer leichten Hopfennote daher. Trotzdem ist es jetzt schon sehr lecker.

Bourbon barrel aged barleywine by The Bruery, with added vanilla beans - sounds delicious. Draught at BeerTemple in Amsterdam, thanks Craftmember for sharing! Pale greyish beige, mousy, loose but largely stable, open head over a more or less clear, coppery bronze beer with warm rusty-mahogany hue. Aroma of indeed strong and 'real' vanilla, marzipan, candied fig, mangistan, caramel sauce, apple cake, dates, pecan nut pie, sweet bourbon, raisin bread, cinnamon, brown rum, marmalade. Sweet onset, residual brown sugariness coating candied cherry- and fig-like fruitiness, soft carb, lean and vinous mouthfeel, perhaps a tad on the thin side for a beer of this strength. The sweetness decreases further on, through a slick toffeeish and sweet cashew-nutty middle yet still with a lot of residual sugariness; pronounced retronasal vanilla as expected, matching well with aspects of marmalade, toffee and candied fig, before a long, peppery, very bourbon-like alcohol heat sets in, ending a tad on the wry side. Very alluring, but somehow it feels a tad too thin to carry its heavy alcohol load; of course, tap beers tend to be a little smoother and thinner than bottled versions, so this will probably feel a bit fuller and more intense from a 75 cl bottle - the thought of which makes my mouth water, as I'm still a sucker for strong Bruery beers in their elegant champagne bottles.

Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen (31/10/2018) - dark amber to brown coloured pour with a off white head. Toasted and sweet malty, sticky caramel and toffee, singed brown sugar, dried fruit shred, medium to full bodied, wooden soaked bourbon and vanilla accents come together into the close.

Tap (Szynkarnia, Wrocław). Sweet vanilla especially in aroma. A little bit booze at the finish, medium sweet, generally very tasty.

On tap. Pours a dark brown with light head. Aromas of oaky bourbon, sweet malts and raisins. Flavors of green oak, dry bourbon, toasty malts, bread crust and sharp bitter dark fruit. Can’t get the vanilla.
