Jeg er for langsom. Det kommer næppe som nogen overraskelse for jer, der kender mig. Men jeg fik sgu aldrig købt billetter til den Founders smagning, der fandt sted på…

Finally weekend and time for a real beer. A beer I

Finally weekend and time for a real beer. A beer I have longed to taste, ever since I read about it the first time some years back. Now, I finally got my hands on a pair - one to cellar and one for #blackjanuary - and it is time. Time to see if it loves up to its hype and price tag. Have a great weekend guys. Tomorrow I will be posting from a black and heavy beer tasting.
.
Goose Island - Bourbon County (19)
Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout 15,2 % ABV
.
The beer pours an oily black liquid with a caramel brown head. The aroma is deep, roasted and hazelnutty. I get some slightly charred wood, with vanilla and dark, dried fruit. The body is full and the mouth feel is extraordinary. Everything, from bourbon to the roasted malt, the hazelnut and chocolate, and even burned, crystallized sugar meets in a tasty symphony of pleasentness. Bourbon County is a potent beer with an high ABV, but it is so well integrated in the beer, that the only notice you get of it, is a spicy and warming sensation. The finish of the beer is round, fruity - think prunes and figs and everlasting.
Bourbon County is the perfect beer for a silent night at the fireplace. Pure nourishment for the soul, though perhaps not for the wallet. Bourbon County is not exactly a cheap beer, but worth every penny. I am looking forward to revisiting the beer in 2022. While the 2019 is already near perfect, I can only dream of a Nirvana to be. Cheers.

So the plan was to test some yet to be released easter beers for a publication tonight. But faith had it otherwise, or whatever you will call it, when @superpolle asked me, what I will have in my glass tonight. The answer could only be something dark and stormy, and the choice fell on a black pirate beer with lots of rum! Look, I found something black @tommybaeknielsen What about you guys @a_word_on_beers and @danishbeerbastard what are you drinking tonight?
.
Uiltje Brewing Co. - Aye Aye Captain!
Barrel Aged Rum & Raisin Milk Stout
.
Hey ho and a bottle of rum! This beer is loaded with rum and raisins notes. So loaded, that I can only faintly get notes of lactose besides the molasses, subtle oak, spice, raisins and not much else. Not that I am complaining, but I do like to get a hint of the malt. But you can only get so much I guess. Aye Aye Captain! is very sweet and boozy. The raisins are dominant and the rum heavy. Not very elegant, but I guess that would be a flavor fail, this being a pirate beer and all. In the end it falls flat and there is not much to the beer, except for alcohol. So good on me, I managed to find a beer to black for #blackjanuary - I’m still going to finish it though, rrrrr!

Ok, back to #blackjanuary – IPAs are nice and al

Ok, back to #blackjanuary – IPAs are nice and all, and the one of yesterday won’t be the last here in January, but it is with the black beers I have my focus. I have three very exciting beers on the table for the next two weeks. Two international all stars and one danish black bastard, that I think will be able to dance with the stars. Stay tuned!
While the beer today might not be an international renowned beer, I expect a very high level of quality from the Estonian brewery. Öö XO is a part of Põhjalas cellar series, where the brewery gets to show their passion for the oily, velvety and liquid goodness, that is barrel-aged beers. This beer in particular is a cognac barrel aged version of the Öö.
.
@pohjalabeer – Öö XO Cognac Barrel Aged
Imperial Baltic Porter 11,5 % ABV
.
Dark as the night, the beer sits in the glass. The head is lively, brown, and full. Even after the beer settles and the head falls, there is a caramel brown edge of foam in the glass. The pungent aroma of cognac flows over the edge of the glass and beneath the distinct notes of cognac and oak, I smell the roasted malt, vanilla. But also, dirt, leather, tobacco and burned, dried figs.
I am not hit by the cognac, the alcohol, or the malt from the beginning. I am hit by a fluffy and airy sensation. Öö XO is creamy, like a gently turned whipping cream, with a touch of co2 and a healthy dose of alcohol. Remarkable mouth feeling. The body is full, oily, and sticky. And then there is the taste. What a taste. Roasted notes, coffee, nuts, spices like vanilla, pepper, and nutmeg, and obviously the unmistakably sensation from the probably rather wet cognac barrels. The finish is round and fruity, like nearly ripe prunes and litchi. Solid bitterness. Almost in balance – just a bit to heavy. But who cares, it tastes wonderful.

I’m having a short break from the dark stouts of

I’m having a short break from the dark stouts of #blackjanuary - not because I want to, but because I have a couple of IPAs I want to enjoy while still fresh. First is:

Track Brewing - Losing My Edge
6,5 % ABV
.
Very bright yellow pour, with a large head given you pour it aggressively. As you can tell from the photo, it diminishes quickly. The notes are of the fat and ripe tropical fruits like melon and coconut, but also grapefruit and oranges. There is also something reminiscent of forest berries and pine. Very aromatic nose, that continues in the beer, but never so much, that it gets perfumed or soapy. The body is on the lighter side of things, but heavy on the hops and flavors. Freshly carbonated brings a spark to the tropical blended fruit juice. The hops are Sabro, Amarillo and Mosaic, and the fresh grape aroma of the Amarillo compliments the fat and oily Sabro. I stated, that the body was to the lighter side, but the hops feel heavy and burns slightly, and the bitterness grounds the beer as well, making for full IPA experience. Solid.

I had the pleasure of a chat with a local nano brewer and I left with a couple of beers. Two of those I have reviewed on my blog, where I have also written a text from the interview with the brewer behind @benzobrew - as always it is in danish, but the browsers can translate, so feel free to give it a read. Direct link in bio. Here’s a review of one of the beers as an appetizer

BenzoBrew 🇩🇰- BenzoBrew

Porter 7 % ABV

Solid kulsort farve med et beige skum. Den dufter af karamel, kakao og ikke mindst lakrids samt en ristet note. Fyldig og cremet øl, hvor den tilsatte lakrids virkelig får lov til at udfolde sig. Herlige milde noter af salt og malt, gemmer sig under den markante lakrids. Bitterheden og sødmen fra lakridsen skaber flot balance. Eftersmagen af lakrids er meget lang og behagelig. Bund solid lakridsøl.

The #blackjanuary battle between @a_word_on_beers

The #blackjanuary battle between @a_word_on_beers and I, became a Mexican 🇲🇽stand off 🔫🌶when @danishbeerbastard wanted to join the battle. In from the corner came @superpolle and the stand off became four ways. I wonder if a contestant will enter the arena to break the stale mate?!

.
Westbrook Brewing - Mexican Cake
Imperial Stout 10,5 % ABV
.
The Mexican cake is pitch black with a short and caramel, nutty brown head. It smells of brownie. How delightful. But wait a minute. What is this fruity, peppery thing beneath the chocolate, cocoa, vanilla and cinnamon. It’s habanero peppers of course. I am quite surprised finding the notes of the peppers in the aroma, but it is there. It’s remarkable how well the ingredients are both showing and are behaving. Hope to find the rest of the experience to be as well rounded and balanced.
The body is medium’ish, perhaps medium plus, and very smooth. Almost silky. The flavors are foremost cocoa, chocolate and vanilla, but just so silently surfaces the cinnamon before being overtaken by a very pleasant habanero chili. The habanero warms, as the beer warms and gets - not agressive - but persistent.
You are experiencing the beer with me, and while typing this, I really don’t know where to land. I love spicy food, but spicy beers have never really been my thing. But here, while spicy, but not hot, you get the fruitiness of the habanero, and I am sure @chili_klaus can explain it better, but I will give it a try anyways: It’s fruity like a red and green bell pepper and slightly sweet, yet still a bit limy and fresh. I suspect fruits of different levels of ripeness. It’s both pungent and earthy, floral and green. It pairs so well with the cake part of the beer, that the Mexican Cake might just have turned me around. I love the chili in this beer. I love Mexican cake.

If you ask my colleagues with whom I share my offi

If you ask my colleagues with whom I share my office space, I have two food related fetiches. One being remoulade and the other being coffee. I am not a coffee nerd, as I am with beer, but I usually go through two pots of thick, black coffee a day. Well I used to, back when we actually worked in offices and wasn’t forced to work from home, due to some stupid virus. But anyways, I found this beer called Motorolie Coffee from dutch @moersleutelcraftbrewery and the can spoke to me: DRINK ME. I AM COFFEE THICK AS FUCK. Anyways, welcome to #blackjanuary

De Moersleutel - Motorolie Coffee
Russian Imperial Stout 12 % ABV

Luckily, Motorolie Coffee smell more of coffee than motor oil. Nice, pleasant roasted barley nose. Deep and fresh brewed coffee aroma. I can tell why they recommend Motorolie Coffee as the perfect stout to start your morning, well from the aroma I guess. I haven’t tasted it yet. And I am also a bit hesitant to recommend chugging 44 cl 12 % ABV beer for breakfast, but you do you.
The beer is ever so thick and oily as I hoped and expected. Loaded up on highly bitter coffee notes all the way through the beer. If you like coffee and stout, you are in for a treat, but I warn you. It is bitter as fuck and I fucking love it. I kinda want to try it for breakfast now. There is also notes of nuts and red berries, if you are looking for stuff like that, but it really is the coffee you are here for. Whether Columbian or Ethiopian I have no idea, but it is so, so good. And bitter. Very bitter.
When tasted around 8-9 degrees celcius the alcohol is a bit too intense, but it softens, so If you do like I do, and forget my coffee around the office for an hour, you are in for a real treat - with Motorolie Coffee that is; cold filter coffee sucks.

After a quiet Christmas and a likewise New Years E

After a quiet Christmas and a likewise New Years Eve, the reality settles in, and it’s time to work. Given how freaking cold and windy it is, I am not completely negative about working from home during the corona-thing. Also, it’s January, and January means black and beautiful beers. Welcome to #blackjanuary
.
Hoppin’ Frog - Q.O.R.I.S. The Smasher
Qadruple Imperial Stout 15,7 % ABV
.
Q.O.R.I.S. The Smasher is dark like the winter sky, but a whole lot more heart warming and joy-inducing compared to the nightmare that is the danish January. It smells a bit like the motor oil it also resembles, but also of dark, roasted malt, coffee, caramel, hazelnuts and dark, sweet and dried fruit. Quite complex really.
I’m quite surprised with how hoppy the beer drinks. Green and herby, yet completely thick, oily beer with all the dark notes of the nose, a long with vanilla and licorise. In this wondrous joy land of taste notes hides a Jack Torrance of The Shining. You think, well that’s some well balanced extremely dark notes on a perhaps a bit vinous body… and BOOM! HERE’S JOHNNY! 🪓🪓 Alcohol I mean. HERE’S ALCOHOL 🍸🍻 God damn, those 15,7 % ABV wants to kill Wendy. Depending on who you are rooting for, the insane Mr. Torrance or the perhaps also not quite balanced Mrs. Torrance, you will either love it, or not. The alcohol is not gentle nor well integrated, but it cuts through the snow like nothing else and tells a great story within Q.O.R.I.S. The Smasher.

Goodbye 2020 – hello 2021! I hope you bring lots

Goodbye 2020 – hello 2021! I hope you bring lots of greatness with you.
I will do my best and drink some remarkable beers this month, because January is not for the bland and ever forgettable stuff. It’s not a time for Seltzers or alcohol-free beer. We need power! Unlimited power! We need black and barrel aged beers.
January at Baregodsmag will be #blackjanuary and I know the good fellows over at @beerbloggers.dk, who might be behind the hashtag promoting black beers (I don’t know, but most likely. At least here in DK), will be showcasing lots of great stuff this month.

Mikkeller San Diego - Barrel Series Vanilla Shake BBA
Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout – 13,4 % ABV

The vanilla is strong with this one. So is the coffee and bourbon. What a wonderful and inviting nose. I can already tell that Black January will be awesome! The body is just so ever silky smooth. Wow! Lots of bourbon up front, a mild carbonation and an oily coffee, chocolate, and vanilla on the back. I can’t believe I am going to say this, but the vanilla brings balance to the force. Balance amongst a high and powerful alcohol level, the highly aromatic bourbon, roasted and bitter coffee and the spicy vanilla. This beer is the chosen one.

So, like always: do we want the pleasure of playin

So, like always: do we want the pleasure of playing in the kitchen all the day, or do we want to relax and focus on us? I was looking into all sorts of seafood, caviar and amazing food, but honestly, I really just wanted to kick 2020 in the ass and spend the time with the wife and our wonderful son. So we went to Vedbæk and bought catering from @thekitchen.dk - time and money well spent! There were even sushi for the kid, as the starter dish. Happy New Year guys! What did you have?

Oh, and now it is time for a beer!

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🍻 While the year

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🍻

While the year probably should be granted a rather low score, I would like to end the year with one of my favorite beers, just to show, that not all was crap. I began my blog in 2020 with great ambitions – interviews, travel rapports, festivals and loads of other stuff – but due to a certain virus, all my plans have been stored for a better time. But even when just posting beer ramblings and bottle pics, I have enjoyed a great reception from you guys. Thank you!

The year on Baregodsmag began with an alcohol free beer and tonight we finish the year with a firework of a beer. Thank you all for reading my ramblings. See you on the other side!

@3fonteinen – Oude Geuze Assemblage 30 2016/17
Lambic- Geuze. Blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old lambics. 5,5 % ABV

Deep golden beer with a short white crown of foam. The aroma is not very expressive, but with an astounding depth. It appears ready to be enjoyed. The farmyard funk is a little sugary to the nose, where it blends with dry hay, wood, orange peel and vanilla. Where the nose is to the slightly sweeter side, the expected sour- and tartness is definitely not hiding, when tasting the beer. Like most 3 Fonteinen I have had, it maintains a creamy body, tart punch, fresh carbonation, and an overall complex, yet elegant experience. Apples, pear, orange, citrus, wood, pepper are just some of the notes that arise to the surface, but also other notes like yeast, abricot and even bread are to be found. If my excitement does not show, I apologize, because this is amazing. The 16/17 release is no longer a child murder – it drinks beautifully. I won’t fault your for cellaring it for another year or two, it will probably soften the tartness just a bit, but I like the amazing fresh, yet deep expression the 16/17 assemblage 30 have now.

🇩🇰🇩🇰 Jeg har taget en snak med en hjem

🇩🇰🇩🇰 Jeg har taget en snak med en hjemmebrygger, der er så dygtig til sit fag, at hans navn snart er at finde på en samarbejdsbryg, brygget i samarbejde med et af landets absolut bedste mikrobryggerier.
Snart er det altså slut med kun at støde på Hops & Haze_Homebrewing på de sociale medier, når collab øllen i starten af 2021 rammer de danske craftølpushere.
Kim Jørgensen, manden bag hjemmebryggeriet afslører desuden, at vi i det kommende år vil se mere til Hops & Haze, hvilket jeg personligt glæder mig enormt meget til, for er du vimmer et vanvittigt niveau hans øl holder sig.
Læs med, når vi snakker om hjemmebryg og god smag via link i bio.

@hopsandhaze_homebrewing - State of Mind
Double Mashed Stout 10,5 % ABV

Kulsort øl, med et chokoladebrunt skum. Aromaen er ristet og utrolig dyb. Godt med havre, chokolade og et snert af vanilje – Hops & Haze har gjort rigtig fin brug af tonkabønnen i State of Mind. De ristede noter leder tankerne hen på ristede kaffe- og kakaobønner. Kroppen er fyldig og øllet olieret – State of Mind er indbegrebet af “smooth”. Hvis man kan kalde en breakfast- og dobbelt mæske stout elegant, er det her vi er. Alt er i balance. Fra de små, perlende bobler, der let bryder den fede og havrerige, klistrede overflade, til sødmefuld ahornsirup og en fin, afstemt bitterhed fra malt, chokolade og kaffe. Det her er uden tvivl blandt de bedste stout jeg har drukket i år. State of Mind er utrolig farlig, for alkoholen er så velintegreret og øllet så absurd indbydende, at den motoroliesorte øl forsvinder alt for hurtigt. Mesterklasse.

Omnipollo ft The Veil – Tefnut Double Peanut But

Omnipollo ft The Veil – Tefnut
Double Peanut Butter Jelly Tripple Gose 10 % ABV
.
With beers like these, the feeling of the beer is often more important than the taste notes. Well obviously, you should know the notes of the taste and the aroma, but with Omnipollo its often rather obvious, given the description of the beer: Double Peanut Butter Jelly Tripple Gose. Sometimes you can even doubt, whether or not its even a beer you got your hands on, and before diving in, I have a feeling, that I will also be in doubt here.
The aroma is heavy and pungent. It’s fruity mostly, with raspberries and forest berries, and to a degree that is certainly more jam than beer. There is a butt load of lactose in the beer and the peanut butter hides just below the jam, and I am fairly sure, that I will be having a liquid peanutbutter and jam sandwich when taking my first sip. And I was not wrong. Sure, there is the notes of peanuts and a very lovely fruity and acidic jam. But the experience is in the mouth feeling and the connection to the sandwich, that most have an opinion on, whether good or bad. Acidic fruits explode in the mouth, followed up with this drying, sticky peanutbutter sensation that I am not a huge fan of in the sandwich, but makes so much sense in Tefnut. The acidity of the beer is through the roof, and I guess it is needed to keep the peanut and lactose in check, but after a Christmas of heavy and fat food, it fires up my heartburn. And that is not a feeling I need in a beer.
Yet another wicked release from Omnipollo that I want to enjoy, but simply must give up upon.

[reklame]
Med den nye limited edition serie fra Skanderborg Bryghus vil den brede danske befolkning erfare, at øl sagtens kan erstatte vin. Læs med via link i bio, når jeg anmelder de tre øl og giver bud på både traditionelle foodpairrings og lidt mere skæve retter.
.
Skanderborg Bryghus kom ufrivilligt i vælten oven på de Danske Ølentusiasters ølvalg, hvor bryggeriet blev bedt om at brygge tre forskellige IPA’er, der skulle vise den brede danske befolkning forskellen på de tre mest udbredte IPA stile. Nu har de lanceret en limited release, hvor en af de tre øl er en Imperial IPA og jeg var spændt på at se, hvordan denne skiller sig ud fra ølvalgets tre øl. På bloggen kigger jeg på alle tre øl, men i får anmeldelsen af IPA’en her.

Skanderborg Bryghus – Castrum

Imperial IPA 11,5 % ABV

Castrum har en helt ren og klar, rubinrød farve og en beige skumkrone. Humlefrisk næse med citrus, karamel, sødmefulde stenfrugter såsom mango og litchi, og en underliggende olieret fornemmelse af kokos. Kroppen er stor og indbydende. Fed ligefrem, og smagen er rig på eksotiske frugter. Castrum er blidt karboneret og alkoholen spiller sammen med frugten en fremtrædende rolle. Mango, mandariner, ananas og kokos danser pardans med den tunge og let kluntede alkohol til et britisk, bittert pophit, der ikke spiller helt højt nok. Jeg så gerne en mere markant bitterhed, for at skabe en bedre balance i øllet (og lidt mere havre måske også), men jeg er ret imponeret over kvaliteten, for trods lidt skønhedsfejl, smager det umådelig godt. Der er meget krop, saft og power i øllet og det er ikke sådan, at den ikke er drikkeværdi om et par måneder, men jeg vil helt klart anbefale at få fingrene i den nu, mens humlerne fremstår så friske og eksotiske som de gør nu. En smuk deleøl en vinteraften eller vinterens tunge retter. Julefrokostbordet kan den også sagtens klare. Fræk servering til en æggemad med store flotte rejer, mayonnaise, salt og peber (glem dilden). Oplagt til flæskestegssandwichen. Fire store stjerner.

Happy holidays folks 🎄🎁🍻 The Beery Christ

Happy holidays folks 🎄🎁🍻 The Beery Christmas Calendar from @saveurbiere has come to an end. 24 beers from around Europe and even USA - 24 different styles even - and it has been a wild ride. Only a few experiences with beers I didn’t enjoy a few great beer and a majority of very fine beers. I am very satisfied with my purchase and I can imagine buying the calendar again next year, since it is a great foray into both breweries and styles I am not familiar with. The calendar as a whole gets a solid:
★★★★☆☆

The last beer of the calendar is a barrel aged stout, a beer style that if not my favorite, then at least in the top three. I don’t know the Irish brewery Brehon, but I have had a fair share of Irish whiskey and it goes so well with beer, so I am very excited about this one.

Brehon Brewhouse - Shanmullagh
Barrel Aged Stout 7,4 % ABV

What a crazy expressive roasted nose. This is going to be good. Loads of sweet, sugary Irish whiskey, oak, dark, bitter and acidic chocolate and spices. The whiskey is an integral part of Shanmullagh and the cask is very dominant. Loads of wood, whiskey, vanilla and pepper all on top on a roasted malt-body. Shanmullagh is far from as sweet as expected, it’s dry even. Whole lotta power in a relative mildly boozed beer.

★★★★☆☆

Founders 🇺🇸- Marvelroast
Imperial Golden Ale 8 % ABV

Just by the looks of it, would you think this beer was chucked full of coffee and cocoa? Well I wouldn’t but it just so happens that Marvelroast indeed is not only full of coffee and cocoa, but also vanilla and lactose. Yet, the beer is golden! and granted, also slightly cloudy like an unpasteurized pilsner. The nose is mostly vanilla and milky chocolate, with only hints of a coffee latte. In the mouth, it is not just hints though, it taste remarkably like a vanilla and cocoa topped latte. The bitterness is negligent and it is far from being a fresh ale, but a fresh take on ale, sure. Marvelroast is one of those mindfuck beers and does a pretty decent job screwing with the mind and mouth.

Poppels🇸🇪 – Extra Special Ale
English Bitter 6%

Lovely and intense aroma of well-handled malt. There’s bread a plenty and plums. A funny combination, truth be told, but I am not well versed in English Bitters, so there is that. The taste is tart and citrussy, plummy and bready on a body of caramel. A lovely, heavy bitter round house kick to your face, try to salvage a rather weird, sour, and boring ale - that I don’t believe should be sour - but doesn’t quite succeed.

Last night the Danish beer blogger collective @bee

Last night the Danish beer blogger collective @beerbloggers.dk hosted their first ever Danish Beer Blogger Awards and I found a cute little bottle to enjoy, while looking at the two-hour long award show. The hosts were @phulgaard and @hopdaddydk dy and the did a great job at looking back at the year that went. @Baregodsmag.dk was invited in, to do a quiz show during a break and I had great fun quizzing the danish beer industry and hang arounds in the topic “the beer year 2020”.
The beer I found, was from one of the nominees of the show @mikkellerbaghaven . Baghaven was nominated to brewery of the year, alongside @amagerbryghus , @brygbrygbryg , @toolbeer and the later winners at @alefarmbrewing (congratulations Kasper and Britt)

I won Danish Beer Blogger 2020 award, and a huge thanks to everyone that made that possible 🙏. And thank you to Baghaven for crafting a wonderful beer to celebrate with.

Mikkeller Baghaven 🇩🇰 – Oud Sasughaven
Lambic Blend 1 – 6 % ABV
The immediate aroma makes promises of the early days of summer, where the apples and pears are sour, but the sun is shining. There is a wonderful and fresh smell of the aforementioned apples and pears, but also lime and a slight fun. Color me crazy, but I also get hints of sweet rice alongside vinegar. As the beer opens up, the summer moves towards the end and the fruits are riper and softer – a beautiful transformation to follow. The beer is highly acidic and tart with a subtle sweet apple juice beneath, the balance between the sour and the sweet change during the two-hour tasting session, like the aroma. It ends on a softer and sweeter note, but never sweet – it’s fresh, dry and tart. Besides the fruits, you get a bit of farmyard funk and wood in the oily but light and minimally carbonated body. Bonedry and saliva inducing. Delightful experience and a clear contester to Beer of The Year. The danish summer in a bottle.

Birra Del Borgo 🇮🇹 – Biga
Italian Grape Ale 6 % ABV

On the label: Biga is a blend of the following: 16 % Italian Grape Ale aged in wooden barrels since 2016. 4 % “Duchessa” (saison with spelt) spontaneously fermented beer and 80 % classic “Duchessa”.

A remarkable grape aroma arises from the glass. Memories of grape picking from the childhood fills me with pure joy. Unmistakably notes of barrel aging and sour beer blends in with the sweet smell of green, ripe grapes. But wait, there is more. Sweet, juicy stone fruits, sirup and spices as well. So much depth and I haven’t even tasted it yet.
Sweet and sour blends in the medium full body. The sweet, sugary grapes compliment the tart acidity of the beer. I feel like most of the nerdy experience is in the nose, that offers a full-on complex experience, while the beer is just pure bliss. But that is not entirely true, because if you really dig down into the beer and look past the siruppy caramellish notes, that encompass the grapes and tartness, you get the wood, the stone fruits and even coriander. Perhaps the best beer of the calendar so far.

Barleywine! What a wonderful surprise. December

Barleywine! What a wonderful surprise.

December 20th of @saveurbiere Beery Christmas Calendar
Crew Republic 🇩🇪- Grenade Edition
Barleywine 9,8%

A nose with fruits and spices, but obviously also malt. There is a mellow grape to the nose, but also plums and dried figs. From the first sip, granted it is too cold - around 8c - I don’t get any barley wine vibes at all. Candied sugar, sure, but taste more like a full bodied IPA with tired hops. It taste of caramel, herbs and dark stone fruits. A degree warmer, and we are nearing a strong dark ale territorie. The grapes from the aroma show up and softens everything. Around 10 degrees the beer starts shining. Still a fruit forward beer, but they soften and the body start to appear vinous. The alcohol is well hidden on the entire ride and it is an enjoyable beer, yet way to bitter for the beer style. A basic UK styled barleywine.

★★★☆☆☆
