Een goede vriend van de brouwerij, David, is helaas vorig jaar plotseling overleden. David was kind aan huis bij Frontaal en had samen met de brouwers een aantal houten vaten geselecteerd om bier op te laten rijpen. Nu, een jaar later, brengen we dit bier als eerbetoon aan David uit onder de naam David vs. Goliath. Het is een barrel aged barleywine gerijpt op Heaven Hill, Four Roses en Wild Turkey. Laten we dit bier drinken als herinnering aan onze dierbare vriend en laten we zijn nagedachtenis in ere houden.
Rust zacht, David. We zullen je nooit vergeten.

Can. Near clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth and soft palate, a mild viscosity, modest fine carbonation, fine for the style. Smooth malts, creamy caramel, not that sweet, a little burned toffee underneath. Back end is all about the barrell. A modest boozy spice a nd abundant bourbon soaked ripe fruits. Comes together well. Satisfies on many levels if lacking that bit of ephemeral pixie dust to take it to the highest level.

Dark brown and hazy with thin head. Intense aroma of sweet Bourbon. Thick, oily texture. Sweet start then into some toasted grains. Pleasant hit of warming Bourbon in the finish.
