COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Nasce da un “pensiero perverso” di Teo e da anni di ricerca. Una birra ad alta fermentazione che ha subito un processo di macro ossidazione e una maturazione in botti di rovere che le donano profumi di datteri, caramello e un delicato ricordo di legno. Al bicchiere si presenta priva di gasatura e schiuma con note di colore bruno con riflessi ramati

Aged in oak barrels

Delle Xyauyù assaggiate questa è quella che mi ha entusiasmato di più, l’ho trovata morbidissima al palato, più dolce ma non troppo, molto complessa e assolutamente bevibilissima! Birra da grandi occasioni e da gustare piano e a fondo!

cereal, caramel, butterscotch, woody. Barley wine molto particolare. Birra corposa con un gusto deciso e liquoroso. Veramente eccellente.

fiulijn (12179) - Malmö, DENMARK - JAN 13, 2013
Corked bottle, courtesy of Jesper, vintage 2008
Hazy dark amber color with a red hue; flat. Sweet and cloying aroma, some candies, some butter, light toffee. Strong body structure, it’s mainly syrupy, with some caramel and toffee flavor, a bit buttery, and with light vanilla oak; sweet, good caramel, harmonious but not deep, alcoholic but without much bitterness; and it can be cloying in the end.

Kristall-König (1843) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - DEC 28, 2012
Im Geruch Likör, Karamell, Holzfass. Startet sehr weich, malzig. Mitte offeriert Karamellnoten, Marzipan und erinnert an Marsalla. Abgang holzig, Karamellmalz, Likör. Minimal alkoholisch. Beeindruckend.

Tasted @Open Baladin, Roma on 27/10/2012. Pours of a lively, slightly muddy brown color with no head. Aroma is medium, lots of caramel, dark fruits, a bit of booze. Just slightly carbonated, taste is very sweet upfront, dark fruits again, combined faint vanilla notes. After a while some woody tones appear and raisins as well. Could feel a slight taste of alcohol in the back. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle 375ml. @ [ The Cantillon’s Brewery Quintessence ] at Brasserie Cantillon, 56 Rue Gheude, Brussels, Belgium 1070.

Clear medium to dark red amber colour with virtually no head. Aroma is heavy malty, caramel, tobacco, wood, alcohol, light oak. Flavour is heavy sweet and moderate to heavy bitter with a long duration, wood, tobacco, dried fruit. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat, finish feel is moderate alcoholic. Very nice and well balanced. ;D [20121005]
