Nemeton Ritual #1: Opening Ceremony is a rich Barley Wine from Waalwijk at 10.8% ABV. Named after the ancient druidic rituals performed at the Nemeton, this carefully crafted beer incorporates botanicals and spices. The core expression appears in multiple barrel-aged variants: Pedro Ximenez Sherry, Woodford Reserve bourbon, and Laphroaig whisky casks. The palate is full and spiced with moderate bitterness throughout. Sherry-aged versions showcase red dried fruits such as raisins and plums, alongside caramel and wood notes, finishing sweet yet bitter. This is an ambitious, layered barley wine for those seeking depth and character.
