Collaboration with Eurotrash. On-draught @ Kaapse for their barleywine festival.
HEAD: None.
BODY: Deep dark Amber. No yeast is visible within. Translucent; nontransparent.
AROMA: Treacle, sweet Amber malts, indistinct fruits (maybe prune?), Caramel. Sweet but not too boozy.
Aromatic intensity is average.
TASTE: Rum-drenched dark fruits (prune, dates, raisin), treacle, Amber and Caramel malt sweetness, sugarcane, maybe Candi syrup. Possibly molasses.
TEXTURE: Thick and viscous, but never syrupy. Well-carbonated. Full-bodied (to style). Smooth, finishing dry. Has a bit of a rough presence on the palate. Gooey and chewy.
Complements the taste nicely, though it fails to accentuate specific flavours or to elevate the beer as a whole.
OVERALL: A balanced if relatively simple barleywine with some nice elements. 5.50 euro/25cl pour isn't a purchase I'd make again, but this is nice work in its style - though make no mistake, this is a sipper. The 11.50% ABV lends it noticeable alcohol warmth.
Low B- (3.32) / WORTHY
