Baladin Xyauyù Fumé (Islay Whisky)
This version is created by ageing Xyauyù in barrels of (peaty) Islay whiskey.
Editor’s note: previously there was another smoked version of Xyauyù; the X-Fumé was brewed with smoked tea (Lapsang Suchong) and no whiskey barrel; last known vintages are 2008/2009.
The new Xyauyù Fumé appeared first on draught at Open Baladin or Un Mare di Birra with specific barrel indication (Laphroaig; Caoli Ila...). The first bottles appeared in 2012, vintage 2008 (notice the overlapping of vintages with X-Fumé).

Bottle #1326. 2014. Dark bronze with brown color. Aroma: smoked whisky: peat, tears, creosote, volcano ash, iodine, dessert wine. Taste: sweet, caramel, fortified wine, candied fruits, volcanic ash, iodine, peat smoked whisky, powerful, very good.
Dark brown, no head or visible carbonation. Aroma of caramel, dark fruits, faintest hint of whiskey. Taste is beautifully smooth dark fruit stewed with brown sugar, pleat, smoky whiskey especially in the finish, marvellous although preferred the non whiskey barrel version.
Clear light brown colour with no head or carbonation. Aroma and flavour have elements of dark chocolate and sherry. Later the richness and sweetness of port and all the way through a pleasant background, peaty note.
50 cl bottle @ Brewdog Tampere.
Pours clear brown color with no head. Smoky aroma, whiskey notes, malts, toffee. Malty flavor, toffee and caramel, some syrup notes, smoky whiskey, faint licorice on the aftertaste. Completely flat but quite tasty and balanced.

2010 bottle. Dark brown-ruby color with no head. Aroma is peat, caramel, vanilla, wood, dry wood. Taste is vanilla, caramel, raisins, wood, so thick. Oily mouthfeel, flat. Oh yeah!
Shared bottle at local tasting. Pours unclear dark amber, no head. Aroma of sweet caramel and toffee. Taste is moderate sweet malty with a nice peat addition. Lovely slow sipper
2015 Vintage
2014 was my best beer of 2020. Now let's have a go with 2015 vintage.
Sweet malts and smoke on the nose, with dried fruits, raisins, whiskey and wood. Not as aggressive as 2014.
Dark copper close to black, bright, no carbonation or head or laces.
Pungent peat, sweet malts, caramel, charcoal, oak, bbq on the clothes, dates and raisins. Bomb. Sweet overall.
Thick body, viscous, no carbonation. Long time sofa sipper.
Confirm the extreme art expression of 2014 edition. Less pungent on the aroma and more peaty on the taste. Just RESPECT!
2014 Vintage
WOW This is mindblowing! I've had other of these Teo Musso's delights but this is by far the best, an absolute masterpiece, although many wouldn't enjoy it extreme flavours. Pours a gorgeous translucent dark brown, no carbonation nor head. Very intense to the nose, a lot of sweetness, molasses, peat, wood, reisins, whiskey. Tastes sweet and peaty, I would say very peat, can immediately reconnect it with an Islay peaty whiskey. The whisky side grows and it absorbs all the sweetness and fruitiness. It's intense, delicious, mindblowing. This comes high in any world ranking, and I can understand why! It's viscous, sticky, polite in its booziness, clean. A unique piece of art!
Dark brown colour with ruby notes, practically no head at all; aroma of soy sauce, smokey, caramel and raisins notes; taste has the same notes with some vanilla and pecan nuts; amazing "beer'
O.5l bottle thanks to Lore. Dark brown/ruby body with no head at all. Aroma of caramel, oak, smoke, raisins, chocolate, booze and vanilla. Taste of chocolate, smoke, vanilla, oak, booze and pecans. Hard to judge this as a beer, but tasty for sure. If you are into whiskey a lot, give it a shot.
Flaska från SB. Mörk rostbrun, näst intill svart, utan krona. Rejält med rökiga Islay-toner och torv i doften, kanske något mer än väntat. I smaken lite mer integrerat och inbakat i kavalkaden av maltsötma, russin, fruktkaka, fikon, katrinplommon osv. Förutom själva rökigheten kanske inte whiskyn ger ett supertydligt avtryck.
Bottle at home. 2014 vintage. Pours a slightly hazy dark brown colour with no head. Aroma of smoke, whisky, smoked ham, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, dates and ryebread. Flavour of whisky, smoked ham, dates, ash and tobacco. Warming alcohol in the end. Has a silky mouth feel, full-bodied and a light bitterness. A perfect match between a barley wine and whisky. Incredibly balanced and pleasant to drink. Smoked and sweet and a little bitterness to balanced it. Just wow!
2013 vintage. 0,5l bottle. Pours dark brown with no head. Aroma of oak, whisky, slight smoke, malt, vanilla, toffee, dark fruits. Taste is peat, oak, malt, toffee, vanilla. Finishes on a peat smoked, malty finish.
Ciemnobrązowe piwo, bez piany. Aromat ciemnych kandyzowanych owoców, torfowej whiskey, rodzynek. W smaku podobnie słodkie, lekko przełamane delikatną goryczką, świetnie zbalansowane, obecne są dymione akcenty

at Rona’s Beer venue, 2013 versie
Ruikt wat old ale achtig, caramel, wat turf, vanille, dunne alcoholische textuur, enorme suikerbom met wat turf, too sugary
On tap at Arrogant Sour Festival 2019. As Xyauyu Fume 2011. Unclear orange brown with no head. Chocolate, dense dried fruit, raisins, caramel, sweet, some smoke, peat. Very smooth. No carbonation. Medium to full bodied.

Warszawa ul. Wrzeciono
Årgang 2011 fra flaske.
Mahognifarvet uden skum.
Oxideret aroma, madeira, karamel, rørsukker, rom, let røg.
Smagen er meget sød med tydelige træk af oxidering, portvin, madeira.
Ekstremt sød finish.
Wersja z 2011. W aromacie słodycz, beczka. W smaku bardzo słodkie, ta słodycz po prostu rozpływa sie w ustach. Alkoholu praktycznie nie czuć. Smakuje trochę jak miód pitny. Świetne piwo.
Aromat bardzo intensywnie słodki, rodzynkowy, trochę czuć alkohol. W smaku trochę za słodko. Bardzo gęste, syropowate. Fajnie czuć beczkę. W smaku alko nie czuć.
Wowowow, super. Bardzo intensywny beczkowy aromat, sporo słodyczy, rodzynek. Ładny wygląd bursztynowy, lekki osad. Bardzo słodkie, trochę wyklejające, bardzo dużo ciała, alkoholu w zasadzie nie czuć. Świetne piwo, ciut mniej slodkie i byłoby genialnie.
rocznik 2011, 7 letnie, słodziutki, piękny aromat, rozpływa się w ustach, fajnie skryty alkohol
Aromat: cudo, megasłodki karmel i kandyzowane owoce kontrowane ostrym torfem od beczki po torfowej whisky. Jest tu karmel, rodzynki, owoce kandyzowane, rodzynki, suszone daktyle, słodkie figi, wanilia, wyraźne ale delikatne i subtelne zarazem nuty torfowej whisky. Świetna beczka a zapach obłędny, świetnie zbalansowany, złożony i kompleksowy.
Wygląd: bardzo ciemna miedź, raczej nieprzejrzyste, praktyczny brak piany.
Smak: słodko z dymną, torfową kontrą. Przede wszystkim jest tu dużo słodkich i świeżych ciemnych i czerwonych owoców które dodają nieco lekkości temu piwu. Dalej karmel, owoce kandyzowane, suszone daktyle i figi, suszone śliwki, jabłka i gruszki, leciutka goryczka taka od skórek suszonych owoców. Od bardzo mocnej beczki wanilia, drzewne nuty i świetna torfowa whiskey, beczka zagrała tu kapitalnie, tworząc rewelacyjny balans.
Odczucie: rewelacyjnie gładkie, bardzo nisko wysycone, wykwintne, bardzo pełne, potężne ciało, alkohol ukryty rewelacyjnie. Suszone owoce na finiszu.
Całość: mój ulubiony Baladin zdecydowanie. Bo najbardziej złożony, najciekawszy, najlepiej pijalny, doskonała beczka, potężna słodycz jest lepiej kontrowana niż w innych wersjach lekkimi, soczystymi czerwonymi i ciemnymi owocami, oraz ostrą torfową whisky od beczki. Piwo wybitne, jak dla mnie najostrzejsze i najlepsze z serii.
Bottle. As 2011 vintage. Pours dark amber colour. No head. Raisins, caramel, notes of some dessert wine or maybe port, slight notes of wiskey, slight minerality and earthiness in the aroma. Really complex. Raisins and notes of brandy at first. Notes of wiskey and slight notes of alcochol in the middle. Raisins, caramel, slight notes of alcochol in the end. Slight sourness and dryness of grapes, caramel, raisins, vineous notes and hints of port. Again, really comolex, very enjoyable taste. Extremely well balanced barley wine. One of the best I ever had.
Bottle at Craigs, many thanks, murky lightish brown color with reddish taints, smokey, oaky, barbecue sauce aroma with honey behind it, same traits in flavor with dome peat coming through and a mellow candy sweetness. Different, unusual, wow.
