Brassée de manière occasionnelle dans l’année, le Barley Wine de la brasserie Sainte-Hélène est une adaptation du style américain sous une forme résolument belge, plus sèche que sa voisine elle n’en demeure pas moins complexe. La puissance du malt qui s’en dégage est contrebalancée par une bonne dose de houblon et une présence en bouche soutenue de l’alcool. Il s’agit d’une bière de dégustation à prendre en pouce café après un bon repas par exemple.

Newish Belgian-style barley wine with thin, beige, creamy head and hazy bronze colour with protein flakes floating around. Complex fruity aroma of chocolate liqueur, coffee grounds, honey, cognac, hazelnuts, pepper, coriander, dried orange peel. Spicy taste with agreeable, soft malt sweetness, some pear and honey, bit powdery mouthfeel, and, as can be expected from the style, warming brandy-like alcohol in the finish along with herbal hops. Very pleasant.
