330 ml bottle, as Beauregard Baba au Rhum Barley Wine de Glace Cuvee 2025, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 17%. Hazy brown colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of oak and rum-raisin, also hints of other dark dried fruits. Sweet flavour as expected, but not cloying, with the same elements as the aroma, but also an astonishing sharp bitterness throughout. Apparently the freeze distilling has also concentrated the hop bitterness. Definitely something out of the ordinary, and it is not a shame to share the bottle between 2 persons.
