Over the years, Paragon has become one of our flagship beers. What makes our barley wine special is that it is always brewed with the exact same recipe, but each edition is unique due to a number of factors, barrel types and environmental factors to say it briefly. In 2023, we used fresh, high-char Jim Beam barrels in which the beer matured for one year. We think the result is pretty awesome and can best be described as a Kentucky hug. Enjoy – it’s a great year for Paragon.

Aus der Flasche im 2025-02 getrunken. Gewohnt ist dieses Paragon ein sehr klassisches Barley Wine in Perfektion. Auch hier treffen die typischen Getreide-/Sauerteigaromen auf ein volle Malz- und Vanillearomen. Und das ohne süß oder alkoholisch zu wirken. Das macht schon richtig Spaß!

Fles gedeeld bij de tasting met Mimi bij Koen... Het is een licht troebel donkerbruin bier met een medium bruinig schuim. Het heeft een aroma van whisky en vanille. De smaak is vol fruitig, rozijnen, caramel, vanille en whisky. --- Beer merged from original tick of Paragon 2023 By Rackhouse on 31 Mar 2025 at 22:12 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.

Sweet and toasted malty with lots of sticky molasses, toffee and caramel malty sweetness, some spices, layers of dried fruit, nice mouthfeel and body, whisky oak washed accents and more spices into the warming lingering malty finish. Gorgeous.
