Mango Pineapple Cake Barleywine - Barley Wine

The inspiration for this beer was a cake that completely delighted the brewers at the Lithuanian brewery Sakiškių alus The pastry that made the seasoned men weak in the knees was an exotic cake with mango and pineapple There are many recipes that revolve around the golden tropical fruits and we are sure that most of them are delicious But not as delicious as the beer of the same name

Sakiškių alus Barleywine is brewed with the highest quality dried mango and pineapple and flavored with a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove It ends up smelling and tasting like an oven-fresh cake

The liquid pastry flows into the glass in the warm golden color of forest honey and adorns itself with a stately crown of lightly tinted, fine-pored foam A malty aroma with hints of mango and pineapple as well as caramel and cinnamon fills the air and whets the appetite for the first sip This reveals a beery dessert with a smooth mouthfeel Strong cereal notes mingle with pineapple on the palate, mango, dried fruit, spices and creamy toffee to create a sensual seduction A hint of bitterness cushions the powerful sweetness and leads into a dry, short finish

You could enjoy this beer instead of a dessert, but it also tastes great as an accompaniment to a generous slice of cake
