Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Superficially black, but held to a halogen it's a very deep ruby-red. Appears filtered, and pours with a 2mm pale tan foam cap. ps @ +10mins, holds well; impressive for a beer of this ABV%.
S- Immediately smells wonderfully liquory. My nose is on a funk this week and registers no more of what doubtless if there.
T- Boooo...ooo [slow>mo]...ooom! It's like a long and elegant slow-ride from the rim of the glass into the bowels of a liquor barrel. This *surely* is aged in liquor barrels! It's deeply malty too. Then the liquor and hops seem to conspire to give a dry/bright zing into the finish.
F- Big, deep, liquory... majorly pungent with rich molasses notes coming in big-time. Despite all of that it's polished and elegant.
O- Wow, this is quite a show-stopper of a beer. Very nicely put together, nothing out of place/balance. It would be ideal for slow-sipping in winter. You might call this a statement beer, it makes one for sure. Something special, a 'bit of a treat beer' for me, that I'd happily drink again.
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the lables to see what I missed! ==> Barleywine. Small batch & vegan.
440ml can BB: April 2022. Bought from TremblingMadness, York/UK as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.
