Iets te vieren? Champagne! Meer een bierliefhebber? BW! Dit bijzondere jubileumbier (ooit gebrouwen voor het 1-jarig bestaan van onze brouwerij) is een gouden formule. Deze Barley Wine is infused met een cognac van 60% grande en 40% petit champagne. Een Very Special Old Pale met tonen van jasmijn, acacia, vanille, eiken en gedroogd fruit.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is brown malt, caramel, nuts, dried fruits, notes of cognac, and toffee. Some slight hoppy notes as well? Flavour is sweet with a decent bitterness. Body is full, bit sticky. Probably the same as BW17 but I give this version a higher evaluation, good stuff.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is caramel malt, cognac, nuts, toffee, vanilla, dried fruits, and a touch of butterscotch. Flavour is sweet and light bitter. Body is above medium. Good Barley Wine, lots of sweet barley malt with toffee and nutty Cognac.

Bottle (thanks Mikko V.!). Deep amber colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is toffee, some apple, cognac and mild malty tones. Flavour is rye, some toffee, mild alcohol and a bit wooden and some dried fruity tones to it. Raw aroma, but quite nice flavour.

This is the BW20. It is a bit thin. And a bit astringent. The normally great dark fruit and fig flavours are mild. Okay beer, but very weak for the style. Sterk Ams

Stond al een tijdje in de kast. Zoet, vleugje alcohol, beetje amaretto-achtig, hazelnoot, pruim. Lekker zacht. Best verrassend.

Bottle @ home. Dark brown colour, beige foam. Nose of caramel, raisins, some cognac. Taste is medium sweet, some notes of cognac, bitter palate, some booziness. A bit harsh.
