Sticky Mousetrap B.A.
Brouwerij Frontaal

Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours very dark brown with minimal head. The nose is sweet maple and toffee candy. Prunes and slight citrus peel as well.

The taste is really interesting. Getting some roasted malts, tobacco, peat smoke, coffee grounds, and burnt toffee. Some bready malts, along with honey and almonds. A hint of maple comes through as well. I'm not sure what the scotch barrels were, but I sense that they were peated scotch barrels.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied and the aftertaste is quite bitter - like charred wood and slight grapefruit peel. Very interesting barleywine! Not my favorite, but glad I got to try it.
