BA Salted Caramel Strong Ale 12% vol
A rich and malty strong ale brewed with salted caramel and aged in oak barrels for 15 months.
Taste: The flavor is very rich and intense. The lush taste blends chocolate and plums with vanilla-like spiciness. While the beginning is more fruity and juicy, the aftertaste becomes more liqueur-like, with hints of nuts, raisins, and a light roastiness. The finish leaves a pleasant warmth of alcohol.
Appearance: A dark brown beer with a slight reddish tint and a smaller side beige head. Swirling the beer creates a dense lace pattern on the glass walls.
Nose: The initial aroma is lightly smoky, plummy, and reminiscent of port. The scent is unusually fruity for a dark beer—dominated by plum, with hints of raisins and vanilla notes from oak barrels. Upon further exploration, you can detect various spices and dried fruits.

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Very dark brown, almost pitch black body with no head. Cocoa notes, some dusty oxidation, raisins and alcohol in the aroma. The taste, however, is a pleasant surprise. Lean, dry, smooth, raisins, maybe some cocoa, and, most importantly, almost without alcohol, very, very drinkable, deceptively so! Wow!

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
