RBESG 19. Guess this is the one. Shiny hazy brown body (?), beige head. Alcohol followed with a solid maltiness, berries/raisins and barrel in the aroma. Not particularly enchanting. The taste does raise it somewhat. Good maltiness (oh, so it's life, surprise surprise), figs and berries, sweet, mixing with good woody notes in the finish. Yup, quite nice.

One of several versions of this Italian barleywine, this one aged for half a year on Italian red wine barrels. Stubby, classical barleywine bottle, bought at Gedeelde Vreugde in Sint-Niklaas. Very loosely structured, pale tan coloured head, immediately opening in the middle but nevertheless settling as a moussy, bubbly, steady ring over a lightly misty, deep and dark copper coloured beer with glowing, ruby red hue, almost looking like a dark red wine. Deep bouquet of tart red wine, biscuit drenched in ruby port, oak furniture and wet vanilla-ish oak, overripe blue plums, subtle hints of pear, pipe tobacco, wet leather, lightly toasted brown bread, elderberry syrup, sherry. Sweetish onset with softly tart edges, fruity, hinting at ripe blue grapes, blue plums, elderberries and black cherries, very softly carbonated, with a smooth, vinous, supple mouthfeel, yet not feeling as 'thick' as expected. Brown bread- and chestnut-like maltiness underlies a growing tannic woodiness, with a lovely drying effect in the end, lasting quite long, the dryness further accentuated by a colourful, very emphatic, lively flavour of Montepulciano, eventually overtaking it from the basic beery properties - though a deeply situated, leafy, bit earthy hop bitter touch remains present at the back, under a pleasantly warming glow of port-like alcohol. Italians master the art of barleywines like no other people these days - I have argued many times before that if the French were to apply their wine knowledge and heritage to the barleywine style like they did, they would immediately rise to the top of European craft beer. This one is a fine example of the wine influence in Italian barleywines and, though perhaps not all too accessible as a craft beer per se, an impressive introduction to this specific concept - albeit not the finest I had so far, perhaps lacking a bit in body and complexity to be of truly international stature.
