hopIQ found 10 beers that share Breakfast in Brussels's oaky and caramel character. Raisin, date, honey, oak, bourbon, toffee, maple syrup, vanilla, brown sugar and caramel make up the flavor of this bourbon barrel-aged Belgian-style barleywine, and sweetness is a big part of it. It blends two barrels from two distilleries, uses locally sourced grains, and takes its sweetness and complexity from Belgian waffles enjoyed in Brussels. 13.1 % ABV.
