Bièropholie Vin dOrge

Formerly brewed at Bièropholie
Style: English Strong Ale
, Canada

341 mL bottle. Copper-gold with a small white head. Nice aroma: spice, hops, caramel. Slick caramel in the flavour, with enough hops to keep it interesting. Earthy hops at the end. Alcohol barely rises above a whisper. Appropriately mild carbonation. Not up to Bieropholie’s usual standards.

Bottle - 341ml. Pours a hazy hazelnut brown body with average carbonation and a thin beige frothy head. Good malty/hoppy aroma with barley, brown sugar, and plummy hints. Rich and complex vineous taste. It carries subtle grainy and oaky notes. Ends with a long, robust, warm finish. Unsurprisingly, another very well done beer from Bièropholie.

341 ml bottle from glouglouburp, thanks Dany. Sweet aroma with notes of flowers, honey, yeast, slight touch of waxiness, liquid caramel and raisin. Pours a slightly cloudy brown amber with a large light beige bubbly head. Sweet flavor with notes of toffee, honey, flowal notes, and a slightly dry saw dust hidden in the background. Medium bodied with light carbonation and a slightly dry finish. while drinking this one I was wondering what it was and thought it was similiar to a barley wine and after reading the description and quite proud to say I called it correctly.

12 oz bottle. Pours a peachy light amber with a thin lasting head. Aorma is very fruity, estery, peach and pear- tropical fruits, fruity bubblegum notes and some apple cider- but not green apple acetaldehyde. Good sweet malty flavor- tons of sweet syrupy caramel sugar, light toasted bread, tons of fruits, apple, pear, and toffee. Good body and finish.

12-oz. Thanks, Glouglouburp! Pours dark burnished murky brown with golden brown highlights. Virtually no head or lace, just a bit of grayish film. Nice forward sharp orange pith, caramel, and brown bread nose. Medium body, some soft carb. Brown bread, caramel, and oranges on the mid-palate. Peppery finish. Nice stuff.

Pours a deep clear amber with a small bubbly head that dissipates almost immediately and leaves little lacing. The smell is very unique with a big candied barley sugar and toffee smell that complements the caramel malt undertones. Faint bit of hops in the nose as well, though subtle. Like the smell, a very distinctive sugary barley and malt taste. The sugary candy sweetness dominates but the boozy background is present throughout. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly syrupy with minimal carbonation. The big candied sugar presence and syrupy mouthfeel keep the drinkability down a little for me, but this is an extremely interesting and unique beer.

Thanks to Glouglouburp. Copper color. Smell of malt, brown sugar, hops, caramel and some spice. Taste of malt, hops, caramel, toffee and bread.

Thanks CheeseMan! Reddish amber, with a very small head, didn’t stick around long. Smells of brown sugar, citrus hops low in the mix, some cherry impressions. Malty and caramel, some hops at the finish. A little too flat. Decent, but not very barleywine-like except in carbonation.
