from the barrel. Minimal funk and fairly low acididty. Fairly boozy on the nose, with hints of apricot and creamy American oak. Lots of interesting aromatics and satisfyingly rich, but a tad flabby on the palate. Bordeaux barrel fermented red rye beer, brewed in May 2022. Lots of sweet red fruit and a dry cocoa finish. A touch more acid than the golden ale, but still quite restrained. Fairly high barrel tannin, that when comined with the drying character from the roasted malts makes this barrel alone feel rather thin. Again, lots of interesting aromatics but not a complete drink on its own. The finished beer was primed with a good dose of sugar to produce lively carbonation, to give this fairly weighty beer an extra lift. Ver menos
