About this release

Opulent, warm and subtly nuanced. This barleywine offers an opulent fusion of worlds, where the velvety smooth texture of aged rum meets the refined warmth of cognac. Deep notes of candied fruit and burnt sugar unfold above a rich base of English barleywine, brimming with caramel and toffee. A masterpiece by BABELEIR Beer & Blending from Namur, Belgium. This 11.5 percent strong barleywine is the result of a blend of barleywines, slowly matured for 12 months in Rhum Clément and 40-year-old cognac casks. The extended maturation in these prestigious casks gives the beer its complex and refined character, with every moment of contact with the wood adding a layer of elegance. The beer presents itself in a generous 750ml bottle, perfect for sharing with fellow connoisseurs or for storing in your beer cellar. The balance between the rich, sweet notes of rum and cognac with the full body of a traditional barleywine make this a beer for moments of rest and reflection. Ideal for lovers of complex, fermented beers that make no compromises.
