This beer is a collaboration with Michelin 3* restaurant Caprice's Director & Head Sommelier Victor Petiot. We started with a clean sour beer, which we then aged for 24 months in first-use Vin Jaune Barrels which we had directly sourced from the Jura, a part of the Franche-Comté region, and one that's close to our hearts.
We don’t always discuss beer’s terroir, but the sour base and barrel-aging here brings out a beautiful oxidative character, with tart stone fruit and nutty notes that match Comté cheese or a range of other food pairings, from chicken and earthy mushrooms to autumnal Hairy Crab, or we think is simply perfect to drink on its own.
Nose: Bright funk, Walnut and Hazelnut & Stone Fruit
Appearance: Deep Amber with low carbonation
Taste: Oxidative notes, Apricot, dried fruits, and some notes of walnuts and hazelnut, with clear funk, including pediococcal and Brett notes, Easy sourness. Smooth with a round finish, mouthcoating.
