Beer Barrel Aged Miss van der Bier

Description

Beer Barrel Aged Miss van der Bier is a captivating IPA-Belgian/Saison hybrid from the renowned Beer Baroness Brewing Company. This unique offering has been aged for 3 months in Pinot Noir barrels, resulting in a complex and layered bouquet. The deep amber to mahogany hue is complemented by a thin off-white head that dissipates slowly, setting the stage for the aromatic experience. The nose is a symphony of dried fruit, raisins, dates, and figs, intertwined with toffee, caramel, vanilla, and a hint of oak. On the palate, the beer is rich and viscous, with sweet malty flavors taking the lead. Intense caramel, toffee, and treacle notes are balanced by a mellow oakiness and subtle vanilla undertones. A warming alcohol presence adds to the overall experience, while a subtle hop bitterness emerges in the finish, providing a delightful contrast. The full-bodied and chewy texture, along with the high alcohol content (6.1%), creates a velvety and satisfying mouthfeel. The long-lasting finish showcases the intricate interplay of malty sweetness, oaky notes, and a touch of hop bitterness. Beer Barrel Aged Miss van der Bier is a true masterpiece, a testament to the skill and artistry of the Beer Baroness Brewing Company. This exceptional barleywine is an ideal choice for sipping and savoring on special occasions, offering a unique and captivating experience.
