La Doña Ocēlōtl Barrel-aged Barley-wine.10 % ABV. 56 IBU.
La Doña Cervecería, Minneapolis, MN.
Dark, Burgundy-hued, large, creamy/tan-toned head. Looking great.
In the nose: Also smelling great. Not hiding it's strength. Mezcal barrels are on top of this. Brandy-is, very malty, very bold.
In the mouth: Big, thick, rich, and boozy. Caramel and toffee malt flavors loom largest, touched with the traces of the barrel work. Mezcal is delivering the goods in flavor. Very sweet, this, quite rich and definitely delicious. I am absolutely loving this. Makes me wish I'd bought two bottles, instead of one. Maybe they still have one? Nah.
More flavors unfold, there's dark chocolate, dark fruits, minor hops and bitterness, yet still well-balanced. Well, somewhat balanced. It's a big beer, and it's amazing.
Our long anticipated Mezcal barrel aged barley wine.
