BA (Gölles) Barley Wine with cocoa nibs from Zotter.
A perfect marriage of beer, chocolate and whiskey!
We proudly present Horta, another masterfully crafted barleywine that has been aged to perfection in the finest whiskey barrels, sourced from our amazing neighbour Manufaktur Gölles. They buy new, never used barrels from the USA, charred white oak. Since they’re only 45 mins away from our brewery, we have a massive privilege to put our exquisite barleywine into the barrels, the very next day after they’ve been emptied.
To elevate the flavour profile even further, we incorporated the highest quality organic chocolate nibs sourced from another neighbour Zotter chocolate. The result is an amazingly layered barleywine that first hits the nose with cherry, dry fruits, caramel, honey, vanilla and very nicely incorporated chocolate. Compared to bourbon barrels it has some brighter notes from the barrel - almost as if it came from a tropical island. Prepare to indulge in the rich aromas and flavours of dried fruits, caramel, chocolate, cherry, and vanilla.
Horta delivers a truly luxurious drinking experience.

0.375 l bottle shared with Ogi. Unclear brown, reddish hue. Minimal head. Aroma is dried fruit, dried cranberries, dried cherries, raisins, molasses, hints of cocoa, spice and alcohol. Medium to full body, sticky, slick, cloying. Flavour is oak, whiskey, vanilla, some charred wood. Raisins, honey, liqueur-like texture. Hints of coconut. Sweet. Heavy and warming, not too boozy, alcohol hidden quite nicely for over 15%. Finishes a bit too sweet.

Tap at the Prague Beer Fest 2024, because of course I *had* to try it almost immediately. Blackish body with a brownish head. Whiskey barrel notes dominate the aroma with some light chocolate, smooth, bit much. Smooth, sweet, very pleasant taste. Dried figs, light chocolate, well-integrated barrel and warmth, light alcohol, but less than one would expect. A beast, but a tasty beast!

Magus, mõru, alkone, kuiv, linnaseline, kakaone, ikka väga tugevalt alkone, nats räpaselt pärmine. Ok, hinna/kvaliteedi suhe on siin ikka väga paigast ära...

Bottle. Dark brown, almost black, thin beige ring, gone immediately. Gentler malty nose, biscuits, some chocolate and whisky, but chocolate prevails. Pretty sweet start, gentle chocolate and lots of syrupy dried fruits. Gentler bitterness, warming finish, quite. Lighter body. Very nice with lots of alcohol, but still nicely hidden 15+%.
