Sauternes is a legendary sweet wine from Bordeaux made from grapes partially desiccated by a fungus called botyritis, also called 'the noble rot'. We used these barrels once and discovered they had plenty left to give so we paired them once more with Anno - this time the 2024 vintage.
Ingredients: Water, malted barley, sugar, wheat, pears, yeast, hops, coriander.

On tap at Dageraad, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma has soft sweet wine barrels, gentle grape skins, and a touch of candi sugar. Flavour has a nice Sauternes barrel character, light candi sugar, and gentle tartness. Nice Sauternes barrel character, good complexity. Real good.

Taster.
Aroma: Belgian esters, some flowers, bold.
Taste: kinda weird, a bit harsh and unbalanced, with some light bitterness. These Sauternes barrels are not probably the best for this kind of beer.
Overall: ok.

On tap at Dageraad. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Musty sauternes barrels, light estery yeast, and some gentle notes of cloves and other herbs on the nose. Flavour has plenty of that sweet, vinous sauternes character, a bit musty, a nice level of estery Belgian yeast, and some cloves and other herbs throughout. Nice, I like this, I think the second-use sauternes provided a nice accent to the base.
