A barrel-aged beer
Mahou has taken its craft to new heights with the creation of Mahou Barrica Bourbon, an innovative addition to their esteemed lineup. The secret to this unique beer lies in the dedicated barrel cellar, where carefully selected woods and precise ageing periods impart a distinctive and unexpected taste.
Mahou Barrica looks captivating from the moment it is poured, showcasing a beautiful, limpid colour. Its fine mousse with a moderate hold enhances the overall sensory experience.
The barrel ageing process imbues the beer with an intense bourbon character, layered with rich, woody and syrupy notes that create an expressive and inviting nose.
Upon tasting, the beer reveals vanilla and bourbon flavours complemented by hints of cedar, creating a rich and well-balanced profile.
The beer’s full, clean and long-lasting body is both harmonious and satisfying, with a slight note of bitterness that adds to its complexity without overwhelming the palate. This careful balance of flavours showcases the Master Brewers’ dedication to their craft and their innovative approach to brewing.
Monde Selection’s Experts praised Mahou Barrica for its harmonious interplay of flavours, nominating it for the 2024 Jury Prize.
