Voor onze Bottle Brew 5 hebben we een extra zware barley wine gebrouwen, speciaal voor liefhebbers van diepe, complexe smaken. Negen maanden lang heeft dit bier mogen rijpen op Buffalo Trace bourbonvaten, en dat proef je terug. De vaten geven het bier karakteristieke tonen van karamel en zachte vanille, die prachtig samensmelten met de rijke body van de barley wine. Een schitterend bier dat vraagt om aandacht – dus neem de tijd, schenk ’m rustig in, en geniet van elke slok.

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Pours a slightly unclear deep mahogany amber, beige head. Plenty of boozy bourbon here complimented by soothing vanilla and chocolate with a long bitter close.. Pretty good.. went well with traditional Flemish vlaai made by Bieridder!

Bouteille 75cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Siegfried et pour le ‘vlaai’ qui allait avec.
BB 12/2030.
Cuivrée oscillant sur un léger ambre, qcq bulles beige mais pas tenace.
Un bon barley wine comme Kees sait les faire – pas mal de Bourbon, banane fudge, chocolat, caramel, douceur latente avec une sensation de cookie oreo – la sensation des 15% est d’autant plus présente que le tout reste assez faible en bouche.

0.75 l bottle from the brewery's web shop, best before December 2030. Almost clear, very dark ruby with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of molasses, bourbon, vanilla, raisins and some alcohol. Extremely sweet, heavily malty, slightly bitter, gently fruity and rather boozy taste of molasses, chocolate, cough syrup, quite some bourbon, vanilla, licorice root and a touch of marzipan, followed by a long, slightly bitter, very boozy finish. Full body, smooth and oily mouthfeel, almost flat. Very deep and saturating brew, rather boozy as well though. Not the most refined Barley Wine from Kees, still a pleasure to drink.
