Phoenix 2021 is the first barleywine in the history of Salikatt. A milestone and a start of something great. Brewed in early 2021 and patiently barrel-aged for 18 months in selected bourbon barrels.

Bottle. A sweet, full-bodied and intense experience. Modern Barley Wine of the pushing-towards-Imp Stout-kind. Alcohol, booze, oak, dark chocolate and cocoa, toffee, dark dried fruits and hints of coffee. A really nice one, although a bit too warming and boozy. 848415

2025 edition. Taster from tap 47 at Ølhallen, 13,8 % abv. Many thanks to Bjørn Arne. Bare naked surface, scattered lacing, and a deep black body. Attractive on the nose with smoothly roasted chocolate malts. Powerful flavours of dark caramel, chocolate, and dark fruits. Oaky. Long lived and very smooth chocolate malty aftertaste with a subdued bourbon bite. Enjoying. (Tromsø, 18.02.2026).

Очередной американский барлик который больше похож на стаут нежели барлик, едва заметные нотки карамели, это все что есть от стаута, остальное все от стаута, кофе, шоколад бочка. Во вкусе еще сухость и алкогольная ликерность.
