De Direkteur from Brouwerij De School is a Barleywine that leans back and takes in the situation calmly. At 11.5% alcohol, this is a full-bodied, warming beer that rewards cellar aging. Sweet caramel malt, toffee and stone fruit emerge in the glass, with suggestions of dark and red fruits. The palate is rich and layered, designed for contemplative sipping rather than quenching thirst. Young it is already pleasant, but time in the cellar will reveal deeper character. A beer for those who plan ahead.
