For almost 10 years, our Wood Cellar team has cultivated a special relationship with the distillers at Leopold Bros. in Denver.
Our collaborative approach to each batch is truly unique and important to us. This special beer features our foeder-aged golden sour, Felix, matured in first-use Rocky Mountain Blackberry Whiskey barrels.
We asked local Denver artist Adam Vicarel to capture this moment with this limited-edition label design. A beer by Colorado, for Colorado.

Foeder no. 61, aged 14 months. Clear copper, some off-white head. Smells sour, woody, indeed some apple. Pretty light body, bit puckering. Taste is heavy sour with some sweetness from the apple, and a bit dry and woody aftertaste. Tasty, not very complex.

Draft - Light tart sweetness with some plum with ketchup. Pale cloudy gold with a decent white head. Acidic, grape and nice sourness.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe for Big Wood 2015, pours a cloudy golden orate with a small white head. Aroma brings out considerable funk, some acidity, and oak. Flavour is similar, with loads of tart blackberries, medium acidity, funk, and lots of oak. Well-integrated and balanced. Nice barreling here. Good.
