His Majesty 2012

Description

Introducing His Majesty 2012, a rare and highly esteemed vintage barrel-aged quadrupel from the renowned Yeastie Boys in New Zealand. This Belgian-style ale is a true masterpiece, showcasing a harmonious blend of complex flavors and aromas. The appearance of His Majesty 2012 is simply captivating, with a deep mahogany-brown color and a dense, creamy beige head that leaves intricate lacing on the glass. The aroma is an orchestra of rich, dark fruits, such as plums, figs, and raisins, complemented by bourbon barrel notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. Subtle spices, including cinnamon and nutmeg, mingle with hints of molasses, licorice, and roasted coffee, creating a truly mesmerizing experience. On the palate, this full-bodied and velvety-smooth beer delivers a symphony of flavors. Dark fruit preserves meld seamlessly with the bourbon barrel complexities, while a malty sweetness is balanced by a subtle bitterness. Hints of chocolate, brown sugar, and burnt caramel add depth and complexity, and the warming alcohol presence is integrated harmoniously throughout the profile. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant dryness and the bourbon barrel character lingering, adding even more depth and nuance. As the beer evolves over time in the bottle, the flavors and aromas develop even further, making it a true treat for the senses.
