Tap at Billie’s. Alapvetoen nem vagyok fogekony a parasztvakitasra azt hiszem, illetve a tulzo edesseget sem kedvelem kifejezetten, viszont itt meg ezekkel egyutt is ugy ereztem, hogy a teljesitmeny oda van teve a porhintes moge. Suru, testes, nyilvan edes. de nem megy el szirupba, van komplexitas azert, szoval teljesen oke, ami talan meg szamomra is meglepetes.

Mexican dark barleywine made from a huge number of different malts, cooked for an extraordinary long time and resulting in an over-averagely strong ale. Pale yellow-beige, moussy head, slowly diminishing over a near black beer with dark chestnut brown shades. Aroma of caramel, almond paste, cognac, candied cherries, rum, moist toast, walnut liqueur, barbecue sauce, dried up tomato concentrate, fudge. Sweet, syrupy onset, light umami piercing through a dried fig- and medlar-like fruitiness, hints of strawberry and ripe pear here and there; soft carb, evidently very thick mouthfeel, syrupy and oily; malty layers of hazelnut, toast, caramel, brown bread and toffee fill the mouth, carrying considerable residual sweetness until a toasty malt and peppery hop bitter combo reacts, unable to counter the overall stickiness of this concoction. Obviously very boozy, rum-tinged finish, but oddly not as harshly alcoholic as I was fearing. A technical ‘tour de force’ – what a way to make yourself stand out on a craft beer festival like Billie’s, surrounded by more familiar names (and craft beer countries)… Muscle-flexing for sure, but they pulled it off, more or less, even if one small tasting glass is enough.

Pours black, no head. Scent is sweet, fruity, red fruits specifically. Very different to the expectations. Mild roast. Taste is sharp, syrupy malts. Red fruits, a certain tartness. Quite enjoyable. Thick body, low carbo. Weird, but enjoyable.

Draught Deep brown-tan head over black beer. Dry, meaty notes, bit like black pudding or overfried hamburger. Sweet with a sweet flavour of gooseberry. Some exotic leaf from a succulent... agave? Sweet, chicken meat, exotic spices and a lot of alcohol. Very syrupy MF, undercarbonated, fiery alcoholheat. Sweet, to put it mildly.
