COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In 2018 we challenged ourselves to using an array of fruit new to our palates and practices. When offered a high quality, freshly picked Black Currant sample, we couldn't resist. We present to you a metamorphosis for your sense. Using 12-36 month aged Agrestic Ale as a base, to which we add 1.5lbs/gal Black Currants, the beer undergoes the final maturation in our French Oak "Fruiders" for an additional four months. A convergence of supple tanning and deep purple pigments, gooseberry jam, a month-watering acidity and earthy leather elicit notes of a beer having vinous roots. A new variant to one Barrelworks pioneers is born. Santé!

Livendadream (483) - New Mexico, USA - JUL 15, 2020
UPDATED: JUL 15, 2020 2018 Btl pours a clear ruby-purple color with a big fluffy pink head that fades fast leaving very little lace on glass. Smells of fruit, yogurt, wood, earth and musty barnyard. Tastes of sweet blackberry jam, tart cherry, wood, sour patch kids, red wine, funk, forest floor, and hint of leather. Medium body, tingly carbonation, puckering, sour mouthfeel and a dry, astringent finish. I like the fruity flavors along with the tart-sourness going on here. This beer is awesome!
