Smoke n Barrels – ABV 7.5%
Belgian Dubbel, made with liquorice-smoked wild sloes in a Foudre (a large wooden vat, popular with winemakers).
Intense.
Look: Nut brown with a frothy head.
Aroma: Smoked oak, with nuts and the tartness forest fruit.
Taste: Sweet with lots of dates, figs and dried fruit, mellow wood-smoke and subtle red wine tartness.
Verdict: Never your usual Wild Beer, and this beer shows why they are so highly regarded.
