ROTT.barrels is the name of our barrel aged series. Unique beers aged in wooden barrels.
For the ninth edition, we chose a classic approach: a barley wine (11.9%) aged in Glenmorangie (Port Finish) and Heaven Hill barrels. The result is a complex and layered beer with tannins and vanilla from the oak, red fruit from the port, and rich caramel notes from the malt. The finish is warming and intense, with hints of tobacco and a boozy touch from the whisky.

330ml bottle, from the Jumbo I think. Poured a clear chestnut brown colour with a lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is boozy caramel. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, sweet toffee, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 2024/bbe 31.12.2029) im 2025-03 getrunken. Dieses Barley Wine kommt wunderbar klassisch mit seinen schweren malzigen Körper und Aromen von Trockenfrüchten daher. Die Reifung in Heaven Hill Bourbon und Glenmorangie Port Wood Single Malt Fässer hat für eine wunderbare Ausgewogenheit gesorgt.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Oak and vanilla upfront with notes of bourbon, scotch, malt, dried fruits incl. raisins. Rich sweet finish with some alcohol. Quite nice!
