Brasserie Lefèbvre Barbãr Winter Bok

Belgian Strong Dark Ale

Brasserie Lefèbvre, Rebecq, Walloon Brabant, Belgium

I RATE THIS BEER: 89

RELEASE: October // THE ABV. 8.0% | IBU’s. ? // THE NOSE: Tulip, Rose Petal, Rosehip Jam, Petrol, Candied Walnut, Dried Dates, Raw Carrot, Black Tea // THE TASTE: Strawberry Jam, Licorice, Habanero, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, White Pepper, Fig Spread // THE BOTTOMLINE: This fiery and full bodied little Belgian winter brew packs a heap of concentrated sweet fruit, coal charred pepper and nutty protein textures and flavors in its noisy effort to delight. Beneath the ambrosia aroma of freshly broken honeycomb lays a strata of warming, gritty, tickling and smoky profiles that keep buds and overall palate buzzing and interested from sip to swallow. // THE BACKBONE: Honey, Coriander, Orange Peel // PRICE POINT: $4 | 1x 11oz bottle //
