Barleywine aged on whisky-soaked oak chips for two months, apparently a very limited production primarily intended for fans of the brewery, so thanks tderoeck for sharing! Tiny-bubbled, dot-lacing, off-white, open head on a clear copper-red robe with orangey-amber glow. Aroma of biscuit, clear vanillin-breathing oak wood, candied plum, yellow raisin, a strange aspect of Royco tomato minute soup (!) including the croutons, almond, candied cherry, oxidized old port, wet clay. Sweet, dense, ‘praline’-like onset, refined candied cherry, pear and some candied strawberry as well as golden raisins, soft in carbonation with full, vinous, supple mouthfeel. Caramelly, biscuity malt core flavoured by vanilla-scenting oak wood (in spite of only chips being used), developing fortified wine-like oxidation, warmth and fruitiness in the finish, ending with the promised whisky-like touch, which fortunately remains soft and well-integrated. Candied beetroot, marmalade and candied cherry effects linger. Very ‘candied’, clean, stylised, vinous, liqueurish interpretation of a barleywine, as in Belgium only HopSaSam would do it – loved this one.
