Mirror Test is a collaboration blend with our friends at Slow Pour Beer Bar to celebrate their one-year anniversary! Together we tasted and meticulously chose our favorite barrels from the Monolith cellars. This blend of 1 & 2 year Mixed Fermentation barrels focuses on classic flavours and prominent wine character from California Red Wine barrels. The result is blueberry, and citrus pith aromatic with pomelo, stone fruit and strong red wine flavours. It finishes with bright carbonation, drying tannins, and a velvety wine-like acidity.

750ml @ Ryan's.
Aroma: nice funk and rustic notes.
Taste: along the same lines, a bit of nail polisher, slightly aggressive on the acidity.
Overall: enjoyable.

Hazy, dullish pale. Vinous and gueuze nose, lots of complexity. Earthy, soft, sweet, lots of nice grape character and oak tannins. Seems a bit more tart than many of their other beers. But really nice character and complexity to this.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of wonderful red wine barrel expression, plenty of tannins, big oak, and a solid barnyard funk expression. Flavour matches accordingly, with big red wine tannins, massive oak, and perfectly expressed wild yeast. Wonderful red wine oakiness character that pervades everything. Excellent as usual.

Poured from 750mL bottle (2022 vintage). Chill hazed gold with small white head. Some earthy funk with background red wine barrel character, very feint manure note.

750mL bottle. Pours a mostly clear blonde with a white head. Nice musty yeast character and vinous barrels on the nose. Flavour has a really nice yeast character, very rustic and musty; gentle acidity, woody oak, and a great vinous quality; some tannins. Excellent wild ale.
