De eerste collab van 2025, en wat voor een. Samen met onze vrienden van Blackout Brewing uit Roemenië hebben we een dikke Dark Barley Wine gebrouwen van maar liefst 14.8%. Een bier waar aan alle kanten de smaak vanaf spat. Denk aan heerlijke tonen van karamel en een vleugje toffee. We hebben dit bier gebrouwen met onder andere donkere mouten. Hierdoor kreeg dit bier zijn prachtige donkere kleur.

330ml can. Slightly hazy brown, beige head. Aroma of toffee, caramel, dried fruits. Taste is rich, sweet, caramel, toffee, raisin, dried fruit, alcohol warmth is quite gentle and warming in spite of the high ABV. Medium-full bodied. Really good.

Surprisingly good. Vaguely green, but lasting and complex.

T: full malty base, dried fruits, caramel, toffee, some berries, vanilla, bit herbal, mellow fruity, could be more bitter yet this is probably intention, soft carbonation, for me delicious, enjoyed for sure.

Bottleshare at CBJ, thanks to me for the can. A very mild haze on this deep amber beer. Airy palate, smooth and a little soft. Decent fine carbonation. Smooth caramel malts, a decent creamy sweetness. Good ripe fruits. Touch of brandy soaked fruits. Soft creamy sweetness brings a mild alcohol spice. Overall, a pleasant surprise, defo not one of these barleywines that could pass for an Impy. Touch of peachy ripe fruits, a little orchard fruits. Mild spice. Tidy, will benefit from some aging.
