Rioja barrels remain the most favorite barrels to age our Barley Wine on. The maturation in these red wine barrels in combination with the tannins ensure that the full taste of the wine comes to the forefront. The characteristic Barley Wine flavors remain, although they are slightly toned down. A slightly dry aftertaste completes it all.

Rioja vaten blijven wel de meest favoriete vaten om onze Barley Wine op de laten rijpen. De rijping op deze rode wijn vaten in combinatie met de tanines zorgen er voor dat de volle smaak van de wijn goed naar voren komt. De karakteristieke Barley Wine smaken blijven wel overeind al worden deze iets afegezwakt. Een licht droge afdrong maakt het plaatje compleet.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 10.02.2027) im 2024-08 getrunken. Diese Barley Wine ist ähnlich dem Bommen & Granaten Stil von De Molen. Das BA wirkt eher unterschwellig und rundet dieses Ale ab. Der Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden und stimmig mit seinen Aromem von Trockenfrüchten und feiner Süsse.

A red-brown beer, a head is quite small and beige. Aroma has dried fruits, apricot, caramel, vanilla, light barrel. Taste has raisin, prune, caramel, some alcohol. Almost full bodied, not stickyness. Too rough, at leas as young.

Tap. Deep amber color with off-white head. Aroma is raisins, orange nectar, definite vineous wood character. Taste is again juicy nectar, sweet but great character. Thick oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Very good, beautiful Barleywine!
