This beer, produced in the classic English Barley Wine style, has a dark copper color. Aromas of red fruit in alcohol, cocoa, caramel and a subtle roasted vein. In the mouth it is warm and enveloping, soft and refined but at the same time balanced with a fairly dry finish.

500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Brazilian Tasting”. Thank you sebletitje! Malalingua & Malanima (wine BA – 356/401) versions sampled side-by-side. Gorgeous thin wine style bottles. Dark red amber, little taaned head. Nose is oxidized varnish, spirit, sweet spices, red fruit jam, big white sugar sweetness, messy, tad flawed,… Taste is very basic white sugar sweet & red fruit jam, candy sugar sweet, basic, very simple with light less pleasant varnish note, dull basic slab of sugar,… Pretty much flat, okay but nothing exciting or necessary.

Bouteille 50cl de Beer for Bunnies, Bologna. Couleur cuivrée, acajou trouble, col fin beige. Arôme offre un bouquet complexe de fruité fermentés entre abricot, fruits rouges, raisins et prune, note de baies, et sucre résiduel. Palais est malté, caramel, sucre candy, effervescence moyenne avec un sucre résiduel persistant. Petite touche oxydée avec une approche penchant plus sur un style US. Fleuri des houblon, avec un fini réchauffant des 12% Le tout étant légèrement collant aux lèvres. Cetainemetn meilleur que le score l’indique.
