Paragon 2022 brings together bourbon barrel-aged barley wine and masterfully expresses notes of dried figs, raisins, and vanilla, complemented by caramel, toffee, and chocolate notes from the malt. The result is a symphony of flavors that envelops your palate, disguising the alcohol content with finesse. It’s a testament to our dedication to the old style and the artistry of brewing, encapsulated in every bottle.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 04/03/24. Extremely dark mahogany brown verging on black with a thin beige cap that soon vanishes. Nose is fruit cake mix, bourbon, brown sugar melt, molasses, toffee, dark malts, dates, figs. Taste comprises ripe bourbon, toffee, fruit cake mix, figs, spice, toffee, hint of vanilla, light chocolate backnotes, oak. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Solid balanced BA affair ... sips way too easy for 14%!

Clear deep amber beer, tidy pale tan head. Smooth palate, quite light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light malts, a nice light creamy sweetness and good malty caramel that gets quite savoury into a distinct salted caramel thang. Yeah, loads of bourbon barrel, rich but light, quite ripe fruity. A touch of oak barrel induced vanilla. Smooth and semi dry finish, with a mild alcohol spice. Previously, I thought these Paragons were a bit over priced, I still do, but, the fine nuance in this one is impressive and that makes it dangerously drinkable.

Mörkt rödbrun med ett litet skum. Doft av kola, farin och Bourbon. Söt smak av kola, Bourbon, russin och alkohol. Bör nog lagras nå't år till.

Bit of a muted nose but packing tons of fig wine flavor, not overly sweet, lots of delicious vanilla caramel barrel notes.

Ultramørkebrun/svart. Lavt lysebrunt skum. Blir raskt film. Brødaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken brøddeig, sjokolade & rosiner. Tørr avslutning. Alkoholen merkes så vidt. Spor av bourbon i ettersmaken.
