Whisky Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
De rebrew van de Balcones Imperial Stout 2023. De gebruikte mouten zorgen voor een licht zuurtje en tannines. Het is niet al te zwaar, en een mooie tweede versie. Deze editie is een ideaal bier om de wereld van Barrel Aged bieren in te stappen.
*Smaakpalet: Gebrand, karamel en hout
*Heerlijk bij: Sterke kazen en zoete desserts
*Het lekkerste op temperatuur: 10 graden Celsius

Максимально дефолтный стаут какой может быть, убер классика из 2016. Есть нотки бочки, жженые ноты от кофе и черный шоколад.

Svart. Høyt lysebrunt skum. Daler sakte. Spotlacing. Inviterende aroma av sjokolade. Snev av whisky. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken lakris, torv & kakao. Tørr avslutning.Tydelig alkoholisk preg etter hvert.

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. The oily pour reveals a bubbly, tan head leaving scattered lacing on the glass, coal black body. Well roasted aromas of chocolate malts and dark fruits, oaky. Comprehensive and balanced taste of earthy chocolate, biscuit, dark berries and dark fruits. Roasted bitter ending, long lived, oaky with a bourbon bite. Excellent sipper on a dark Friday eve. (Tromsø, 08.11.2024).
