Aus der Flasche (bottled 16.06.2023/bbe 24.04.2033) im 2024-03 getrunken. Dieses Ale mit Bourbon WHiskey BA kommt wunderbar im Englischen Barley Wine Stil daher. Durch den Demerara Zuckerzugabe hält sich selbst eine moderate Hopfenbitterkeit hier zurück. Ein wunderbar balanciertes Ale.

Den som venter på noe godt venter alltid for lenge, så jeg nøler ikke her - en 0,33 flaske fra statens postordrekatalog, hjemme en lørdagskveld: Nydelig duft i det jeg jekker av korken, her kjenner jeg sviskeplommer, mørke sjokolader, bourbon, vanilje, rosiner og sherry. Smaken følger opp med en anelse lakris i tillegg. Deilig munnfølelse uten at det blir påtrengende. De 50 IBU holder seg diskret i bakgrunnen og det samme gjør vitamininnholdet, i hvert fall til å begynne med. Minusgrader ute, god fyr i ovnen og en Beethoven strykekvartett på stereoanlegget - da er livet godt for oss hedonister. Pluss en god bok, naturligvis! Utseendet? En firer selvsagt, brunsvart med fint skum som varer.

Bottle. A dark brown beer, seemingly unclear, with a dense dark beige head of moderate size. It's quite alcoholic on the nose, warming actually, with lots of bourbon. Booze, coconut, oak, vanilla and a chemical touch reminiscent of ammonia. Chemical in an interesting and not disturbing way though. Roasted malts, toffee, dark bread crust, hints of licorice and dark chocolate, some prune and raisin, and a wee spiced, peppery hint. It's full-bodied, sweet, warming and very pleasanty carbonated. Flavorwise it's pretty much like the aroma, at least the same elements, but there's more focus on the dark dried fruit, and the bourbon barrel related flavors are mellower, more balanced and not taking as much space as in the aroma. Spiced, brown sugary flavor more reminiscent of rum than bourbon, dark chocolate hints, licorice and some bready hints too. Not much hoppiness detected neither in aroma nor in flavor, but there must be a decent amount, else the beer would feel way too sweet. Everlasting finish with the same profile as the initial flavor, except some bitterness showing up in the very end. A really delicious beer indeed, could easily be shared but it was wonderful to have almost all of the bottle on my own. Sure a beer I would like to repeat. 231010
