Voici le moment de révéler la première bière qui sera disponible le vendredi 15 Novembre à 18h pour le release de notre 7ème Anniversaire ! Pour l'occasion, nous aurons une nouvelle batch d'Oscillation, un projet de Barleywine sur lequel nous travaillons depuis longtemps. Oscillation se veut une version aboutie que nous souhaitons vous offrir en bouteille. Ce Barleywine, issu d'une très longue ébullition, a séjourné pendant 20 mois en barriques de bourbon Willett. Vous y trouverez des notes intenses de bourbon, de fruits séchés et confits avec des notes complexes de toffee, de cuir et de caramel. La texture est ample, avec des notes de bois et de bourbon.

Big aroma, nice barrel, comes across like a stout. Soft fruity, mellow barley wine fruit, light tree fruit and beautiful barrel.

42th Birthday gathering. 750ml (thx, Alex G.!) @ 🏡
Aroma: American oak, dark fruits, caramel, some meaty notes.
Taste: along the same lines, quite bold and boozy.
Overall: it's ok, I am still way far from being convinced that BWs by BBC are nice. They are not even close to their IS.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Near black with small beige head. Bourbon barrel, a bit oily, dark fruits, very dark malts, touch of tobacco, verging on stout territory, interesting barley wine.

750ml bottle that pours a dark brown colour with light ruby-copper highlights, a mocha-coloured head that sticks around a bit, with decent lacing spots. Big, rich aromas of sweet malts giving chocolate notes, raisins, maple and caramel. The taste shows dark fruits, molasses, roasted malts, caramel, with coconut hints and the warming Bourbon. The richness is cut with a bitter, drying finish. The mouthfeel is quite oily and silky. A tad of wood is left on the tongue. Quite complex, with lots going on, but nicely balanced with a good end.
A dark reddish brown barley wine with a very thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with vinous notes, dark fruits, licorice, alcohol warmth, light bourbon barrel notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with dark fruits, licorice, bourbon barrel notes, woody notes, alcohol warmth, very nice and rich. On tap at Hautes Plaines location.
