Flemish Barleywine Blend

Russian Imperial Stout 12% alc

A recreation of a Imperial Stout using an old forgotten technique used by dinosaurs in the Jurassic period. A reiterated mash using double the amount of malt, condensing the malty profile of an Imperial stout to an extreme level! 

We increased the aging characteristics by aging 220l in a used wine barrel for 6 months and blended back the beer in a ratio of 1/4 with the rest.

Aromas of dark roast malts just out of the glass, almost burnt biscuits, bitter chocolate with notes of dark dried fruits and licorice! The taste follows the nose showcasing all those beautiful roasty British malts framed by a smooth full body from the heavy use of oats! The aftertaste is long and lasting,full of dark chocolate and coffee!

It is enjoyed fresh but it's imperative that you age some! Tasting it after 6, 12 months or even years will transform this brew to an even more complex beer!
