About

Lervig Paragon 2019 is an annual release from Norwegian craft brewery Lervig Aktiebryggeri in Stavanger. This Barley Wine blends multiple vintages, each aged twelve months in bourbon barrels. The 2019 edition emphasises subtle bourbon character rather than overt wood influence. The beer arrives full-bodied and viscous, layered with dark chocolate, toffee and caramel notes. Fig, vanilla and light coffee add complexity. Bourbon aging contributes warmth and refinement without overwhelming the beer's inherent character. Paragon is built for cellaring—up to ten years—and evolves gradually in bottle. This is a serious, wine-like beer designed for contemplation and patience.
