This beer blurs the lines between dessert wine and wild ale. Burnt sienna in color with aromatics of sweet honey and candied tropical fruit, the flavor transitions to notes of tart grapes and dried apricots. This wine-like beer is served still and is packed with tannins and oak complexity from a 16-month fermentation in used French Oak Sauvignon Blanc barrels. Not too sweet, and not too tart, this bold yet balanced beer is meant for sipping and savoring, and should age elegantly.

375mL bottle, pours a clear bronze with almost no head. Aroma is like drinking vinegar, dried stone fruits, and some sugars. Flavour has lots of dried apricots, tons of drinking vinegar, loads of booze, oak, and maybe a touch of the sauv blanc. Man is it this odd. Definitely too vinegary, probably too boozy, but there’s some nice fruitiness underneath. Flat carb. Very, very odd.

Amber, bright, pours basically flat with no head. The aroma has a funky mushroomy type of character, sweet acetic, with a bit of vinous note. On the palate, about the same. Tart, vinous, but odd, definitely something in the mushroomy direction, like they have a kombucha plant next door. I don't know what to make of this, but it's not entirely effective.

375mL bottle. Pours hazy dark amber with a minimal head. Tons of candied fruits, some fermentation, chewy malts. Flavour has chewy fruits, some apricots, peaches, grapes. It's very strong and boozy, the fruit is very chewy and tart. Weird and not great.
