Hazy amber gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy and soft, with decent fine carbonation - wasn't expecting that! Soft creamy malts, smooth caramel and biscuit. Ripe fruits on the back end and a little spice. Soft finish. Quite a mellow barleywine but still manages to be flavoursome. Addictive!

(Bottle) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with brief foamy head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of yeast, oak wood, apricot marmalade, rye bread, candy sugar and roasted chestnuts. Fruity, spicy, slightly tart taste with yeast, orange marmalade, rye bread, nuts, figs, candy sugar and a spicy finish with low bitterness. Almost full body, quite sweet. Complex and really tasty. Very nice.

numero botliga: 09217. Poured into orginal Baladin Teku Glass. Piwo Szampanskie z pieknym wygladem. Mocny kartonik, ladna butelka z grubego szkla, stylowa i minimalistyczna etykieta, kryje w sobie niebanalne musujacy nektar. Piana szybko rosnie a tak trwala i gesta ze kieliszek przechylilem po nalaniu poziomo i nic sie nie wylalo, niesamowite tak wyglada trwale ze przypominalo mi konsystencje sera mozzarella, mozna by ja kroic w plasterki zyletka. Emocji w sylwestrowa noc dostarczylo nie tylko mnie, wygla to lekko metna barwa przypominala zrumieniana skorke pieczonej kaczki, w smaku miod, lekka slodycz i mnostwo, mnostwo korzennych przypraw. Taki fajny smak i fajnie rozgrzalo mimo chlodzenia w kubelku od szampana z kostkami lodu. Mila suylwestrowa noc tak mila niczym klepniecie Horngahera ramienia Dolezala po skoku Kubackiego w nowy rok. Alkohol ukryty, Zupelnie inne niz kazde piwo szampanskie jakie znam, moze i nie lepsze ale na pewno interesujace i intrygujace. Polecam

Istria Gourmet Festival. Murky orange-golden body with a big off white head, the sparkling wine-like carbonation revealing itself immediately. Dusty, peppery, creamy aroma, tobacco, cocoa, raisins, oak, cookie - pungent. Sparkling/fizzy body, barleywine-like heavy / oxidized malt notes, figs, tobacco, oak, cookies, somewhat drinkable. Very, VERY unique and interesting, and while I enjoyed it in a way, I can't say I loved it. I love what it is, but the taste combo didn't knock me off my feet. Still, another great experiment of Teo's!

boxed 75cl bottle, super nice presentation. hazy to unclear orange, small orange head. foamed over when opened, however, cork did not come out by itself. Still, sink opening is recommended, it will foam over down the sides of the bottle. sweet malty aroma, faint smoke, rye, flowery honey like aroma. flavor is sweet, honey, bitter honey, nutty bitterness, sweet herbs, vanilla. quite sweet barley wine, sweetness mighe be from honey, tastes a bit like a honey-beer, also more bitter than your usual barley wine (bitter from other sources than hops). perhaps it might remind me a bit about english style barley wine, but those are not this sweet. Not really woth the high cost, but at least it is interseting and a bit special so you get some adventure for the many euros you'll spend on this one.
