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.

The first collab of 2025, and what a collab it is. Together with our friends from BlackOut Brewing from Romania, we brewed a thick Dark Barley Wine of 14.8%. A beer where the flavor splashes off on all sides, think delicious notes of caramel and a hint of toffee. After which its dark malt gives the beer a beautiful dark color. Sit Down, light out & enjoy.

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.
