Kererū Brewing Company Amberine New Zealand Whisky Barrel-Aged Belgian Ale

Amberine är en Belgisk Quadrupel som fått mogna i hela 14 månader på Nya Zeeländska “NZ Whisky Co” fat som du kan läsa mer om här! Ölen är valnötsfärgad med ett visst rödrosa skimmer med ett härligt skum. Toner av Toffee, Single Malt Whiskey & kraftigt rödvin gör sig påminda i doften. Smaken övergår i en djupt karamelliserad sötma, en beglisk jästighet, mer whiskey och en lätt ekighet.

Ölen är fantastisk nu, men kommer att mogna med vördnad i många år. Servera den inte för kall, utan som ett vin i ett trevligt glas.

Brewer’s Note

“Kereru obtained 140 unique oak barrels from the NZ Whisky Collection, a company founded around the stock of the former Wilson’s Distillery in NZ. The stock was lost for many years and was then found and the whisky had aged to perfection. Some of the casks were 60 year-old American oak ex-bourbon barrels which contributed vanilla, oak and hints of maple to the whisky. Some of casks were French and American oak ex-red wine barrels from Mills Reef which contributed red wine and port notes to the whisky. The casks arrived in small lots as they were decanted of whisky, and were wet and sloshing with a bit of magical spirits still inside. Each cask can impart its whisky character into a beer only once. After that the cask can be used again, but will only offer oak barrel character. This makes all our whisky barrel-aged beers unique and never to be repeated. Each bottle is hand numbered.”
