One for the road. A BBA Barley Wine. I'm looking forward!! The beer colors transparent, deep brown. An off-white, fairly moussy head. Sweet dried fruits in the scent: date and fig, first and foremost. Vanilla refuses to stay caged. Brown sugar and a small amendment of cacao nibs seal the olfactory cocktail this time. The gustatory sphere performs! Yeah! Brown sugar, date, vanilla, a suggestion of cacao nibs, fruity Bourbon, fig and barrel notes. Some obvious nuances are absent though, like raisin and plum. The body is expected to be big. The ABV clocks a whopping 12.5 %. Is it then? Nope... Light-medium to medium maximum. A disappointment. A fairly similar cocktail in the aftertaste, I would say. The mouthfeel is medium, lip-glueing, a tad heavy, soft, smooth and barrel aged. Reasonable, definitely enjoyable, but not a masterpiece. Layers are missing.

Édition 2023 de ce vin d’orge de qualité. Fort, épicé, doux et looooong! Bô!

Une pointe sucrée avec une pointe acide le tout avec la maîtrise de L'Apaisée. No comment
