Berging BW 22 is a cognac-infused Barleywine from the Purmerend-based microbrewery of the same name. At 11.3% ABV, this robust beer is part of Berging's annual BW.XX series, where each year brings a new celebration beer. The brew marries the full, malty character of a barleywine with the subtle influence of cognac.

The aroma is inviting and complex, with alcohol present but not dominating. On the palate, the beer is full and layered, though the high alcohol can occasionally overshadow the malt character. This is a beer to savour slowly, perfect for moments of reflection and celebration.
