Eccentricity

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to light brown, bright and clear with excellent transparency. A dense, creamy head forms and clings to the glass in defined rings, demonstrating strong lacing retention. Carbonation is moderate and persistent, appropriate for a barleywine of this weight.

◌ Aroma

Vanilla and warm spice dominate the nose, driven by the Amburana wood's cinnamon and vanilla character. Beneath lies a sturdy malt base with notes of toffee and caramel sweetness. A gentle alcohol warmth rounds out the aromatic profile without obscuring the wood-driven complexity.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with full, luscious malt sweetness and vanilla that coats the mouth immediately. Mid-palate reveals layers of caramel, rye spiciness, and the characteristic warmth of Amburana wood, creating a rich and complex mouthfeel. Columbus hop bitterness arrives gradually, providing moderate restraint and preventing cloying sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends long and warming, with vanilla and spice lingering alongside subtle malt sweetness. Alcohol warmth builds smoothly, inviting contemplation rather than rush.

Serviertemperatur 12–16°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.
