Bommen & Granaten - Port BA Barley Wine-ish
Brouwerij De Molen

Looks a lot like the non barrel aged but it has some nice extra fruit added from the barrel compared with a good amount vanilla

Big + easily stirred-up sediment. I poured slowly and left 20ml in the bottle which is like full-on silt.
L- Deep ruby chestnut, mostly clear though a touch of sediment entered the pour near the end. A patch of very thin white foam; this ABV% cannot support foam.
S- Wine barrels. Then some timber notes - that's all I get.
T- Wine, richsweet, big wine.
F- ABV% zings my throat hard on the swallow. It triggers instant hiccups; I've experienced this before, weird.
O- What on earth do I make of this? It tastes almost more like a high ABV% super-rich fizzy red wine than beer, or a 50/50 mix of a dry red wine and rich port.
Interesting to try, but I like beer that tastes like beer (wine like wine and not wine like beer) and this just has too much going on for me.
