Baladin Elixir

Baladin Elixir

A demi-sec ale brewed with whiskey yeasts, from the island of Islay, creating striking dryness and lively effervescence. The nose showcases almond and tropical fruits. The palate is malty, with flavors of plum, dried apricot, and spice. It’s finish is dry and warming from the high alcohol. Rare on tap!

3.3 On tap @Ølfred - Aarhus Streetfood. Pours golden, with small head. Scent: Sweet, a bit alcoholic. Taste: Really sweet, almost too much. Caramel, sugar. Really heavy. Texture: Oily.
4.3 Draft at Kuad Beer. Caramel sweet nose, toast and malt aroma. Low to none hop aroma. Sweet test no alcohol burn and very low alcohol aroma. Deal fruit test (low). Deep amber color with low carbonated. Not to dry finish.
4.2 Aus der Flasche im 2016-03 getrunken. Dunkles Bronze bis Orange im Glas. Hier scheint eine Art dunkles, malziges Dubble und ein hefiges Abbey Trible mit einer leichten Aprikosennote sehr stimmig aufeinander zu treffen. Toll!
4.3 On tap at Open Baladin Rome as "Elixer". Medium ruby amber with a big head subsiding slow. No lacing. Scent is medium dense notes of banana and cloves Belgian Weiss. Taste is consistent, dense, heavy, gorgeous version of a hoegaarden. Banana properties a bit ripe/stinky. A bit too sweet for me but I should get used to Belgian style. Finish is interestingly bitter. Very great beer.
3.0 Piwo ciemnozłote z niewielką szybko znikająca pianą. Aromat słodowy, trochę przypraw i tropikalnych owoców. Smak podobny, dość wytrawny, piwo dosyć wodniste jak na swoje parametry. Ogólnie nic specjalnego
3.5 Molto particolare con nota quasi vinosa, dolce, aspetto limpido ambra, non entusiasma.
4.9 надзвичайне пиво. хоча цього літа купивши трохи в ньому розчарувався, так як смак був слабшим ніж раніше, але пояснили що таке буває, надто складний процес приготування. але вчора аромат цього пива був - казка. пиво витримане у бочках з під шотландського віскі. Birramisu )) caramel, nuts, chocolate, amber, brown, heavy cloying sweetness, lightly bitter,

3.3 En barley Wine i den lettere ende for selvom den holder 10% virker den ikke tung eller stræk. Har en sødelig maltet smag uden ret meget bitterhed - i eftersmagen fornemmer man alkoholen uden at det genere. Skal serveres lettere afkølet.

3.0 On tap at Stone Brewing Berlin. Comes with a dark amber color and a thin, muddy white head. The nose is malty and sweet, some nuts and caramal, some raisins. Taste of raisins, belgian yeast and something undefined like toffee or caramel.
3.9 @ Wien Craft Bier Festival 2016 November. // Darker clear amber in color. Sweetish aroma, some raisins and ripe plums too. Raisins soup in taste. Smooth one. Sweet brown sugar notes. As an aperitif this one works. Bit of bitters in the end. <<>>>>>> Beer tasting sessions in Budapest, Hungary >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Facebook: www.facebook.com/beeroda

4.1 20-JAN-2017, bottle @home, from Magasin. Very hazy amber with a very short lived tan head. Wonderfull aroma of fruity malt, alcohol, sweet dessert wine - like a sweet red wine, and wood. Surprisingly dry, very lively carbonation. Bitter, alcoholic, some sweetness. Very nice.

3.7 Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av torkad frukt, aprikos, russin, brunt socker, apelsinskal, karamell, kryddor med toner av honung och äpplen. Stor sötma, fruktig, rund och len, värmande alkohol, fin beska.
3.5 *Bottle from Rudat. Very fruity beer with a nice and round sweetish grainy body. Caramel, dried fresh fruits and nice smooth and fruity yeast. Heavy intense thick but still easy to drink. Nice and viscous.
2.6 Viski mayası mı? Bu nasıl bir açıklama anlamadım. Renk bordo, köpük yok, vaat ettiği koku ve tatlar yok bence.. Hele ki islay??
3.4 A 0.75 l bottle that poured a hazy brownish body with small to medium sized ivory head. Dry caramelized sugar aroma, even light dog food with a grainy touch and a bit of wood. Flavor was accordingly lightly sweet, heavily toasted, yet not roasted malts with wide variety of these flavors like caramel, dried fruit, brown sugar, alcohol. Then, strong wood, almost whisky peat bitterish bite came just a bit later. Medium to full in body with a long peaty, malty and fruity sugary finish. A bit weird like most of the Baladins tend to get but this one unfortunately didn’t amaze me.
3.9 amber color orange medium dark ruby with orange reflections foam that dissolves very quickly to a thin layer. malty sweetish odor, oranges, dark fruits, apricots, nuts and yeast notes. Vigorous yet delicate. Initially malt flavor and sweet, fruity, tart, leather, spices, butter or nuts to be transformed into a tasty bitter end yeasty, predominantly sweet and pleasant. Very well balanced and tasty, uniform, but also complex. Something vinous.
