A collaboration beer between Mean Sardine (Portugal), Letra (Portugal) and Lerving Aktiebryggeri (Norway).

Fantastic port wine barrel flavor infused into this 12oz bottle of barley wine. This was far and away the highest ABV of any beer I had on a recent trip through Europe and, coincidentally, one of the best beers too. It's well-balanced and smooth but maintains a nice, even slow burn from the alcohol while not running overly sweet. They had just one bottle left at a tiny brewpub in Porto but man do I wish they had more. Good stuff.
