Fresh baked bread, goat cheese, pesto, smoked fontinella. 18 year old barley wine that sucked when it came out but is awesome right now.
Cost per person: like I know. This is just for me. It rotates my emergency goat cheese, I smoked the cheese myself, I baked the bread, how do you price a bottle of beer you bought so long ago it can drive?
Can you order this anywhere? Probably. There is some place that offers something this simple and prepped for $45. They probably even have bruschetta. Which I thought about making but decided against. They definitely have avocado toast.
Belgian ales, especially triples and quadruples, needs a couple of years of aging as well. But I wouldn’t let it age past 5-6 years. I find that all ale, not matter how strong, just turns into portwine when aged longer than that.
I mean it is fine if you are into that, but I prefer my beer to taste like beer.
Belgiums have a lot of esters that fade and phenols that don’t when aged. Barley wine doesn’t. They can go longer
