Blend of wildberry mead and bourbon barrel-aged barley wine and imperial stout.
A caramel-forward braggot that came to life after trying different blends of mead and barrel-aged beer. For this release we ended up blending a wildberry mead with a bourbon barrel-aged barley wine and imperial stout (Golden Tears). The beers added heavy caramel notes, dried fruit and light notes of vanilla to the mead. Making it very barley wine-esque in the flavor profile, while still primarily being a mead.
The combination of light roast from the stout and acidity from the fruit, makes the caramel notes from the barley wine feel almost salty and savory.

Интересный лот от Марлобобо. Есть сладость, причем разная, карамельная от барлика, от меда и сахар карамельный. Приятно на вкус хоть и овер сладко, не сказать что лучшая медовуха, но интересная.

Bottle @ Home. Courtesy of Gunfryd. Unclear, oily brown body without any head. Aroma of malt, honey, dark fruit, dry fruit, berries, some vanilla and warming alcohol. Taste has a certain complexity with loads of flavors. Sweet malt and honey, some dry fruit but also acidic berries/fruit, toffee, warming alcohol, plum jam, slightly spicy and some vanilla towards the end. Full bodied with endless aftertaste. Interesting and nice. I appreciate complex flavors from diverse ingrediencies like this one with the honey taste intact instead of a mead that just taste like sweet fruit juice.

Bottle, 375ml with wine cork. An unclear one, almost, oily pour, still and headless. Brown in color. The aroma has a good dash of berries, with alcohol, brown sugar, blue plum, honey, spice hints, booze and vanilla and some oak. Some notes of imperial stout too, but subdued. It's full-bodied and warming, sweet but not too sticky, with a honey warmth/sting too. Blueberry, honey, dark dried fruit, some spiced and boozy notes, vanilla and oak hints. Lasting finish with a metallic touch. Besides the metallic touch it's really nice. Well, a bit too sweet, but the combo of mead, Barley Wine and Imperial Stout works very well. 240821
