Only a dilemma if you don't have a second bottle ready!
Since craft beers have made the German and international beer market more colorful, diverse and varied, more and more new and old, long-forgotten beer styles have been appearing. Gose, Stout and the like used to be quite common, but all of them fell out of fashion over a period of time. Thanks to the creative craft brewers, they are all back and with them beer specialties like Barley Wines. The latter are a particularly aromatic beer creation in which the beer matures even further after completion. But not in bottles, but in barrels. This creates complex, multi-layered beers that have their own unique character.
This also applies to the Barley Wine Dilemma from Septem. The Greek brewers took one of their excellent beers and let it age in barrels for quite a while. Dilemma is the result and we are thrilled! The cloudy beer flows into the glass in a deep copper tone and forms a light brown head of foam. From the quickly disappearing foam, wonderful scents of soft caramel, dark molasses, milk chocolate, vanilla oak and red fruit jam rise to the nose. The taste is similar to the smell and surprises with a warm sweetness at the first sip. Tangy fruit sweetness meets caramelly roasted malts, toffee and bourbon-soaked oak. The sweet entrée is followed by an intense, hoppy bitterness that perfectly balances and supports the soft sweetness.
Dilemma is an exciting play of aromas of sweet and bitter taste nuances - very successful!
