Double-Aged + Double-Barrelled + Double-Blended 2017
An annual release taking our flagship beer Modus Operandi which is a blended sour red ale, aged in red wine and bourbon barrels and then re-ageing that blend in more wood for further maturation, building complexity and intensity. The epitome of our barrels store is released each winter, the perfect time to enjoy Beyond Modus.
A masterclass in barrel ageing and blending, Modus Operandi is re-barreled and re-blended annually, taking disparate and distant barrels from the cobwebbed reaches of our barrel library and adding select beers to the mix for something truly transcendent. The complexity gained from the wood as well as the wine previously held in it means Beyond Modus is intriguing and delicious.

Sample from 75 cl bottle. Slightly hazy amber colour with a medium sized off-white head. Tart fruity aroma with caramel malts, raspberries, red wine and bourbon barrel. Taste is light sour. Full body with an oliy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes lasting sour fruity. Lovely.

Bottle shared in Hackney - sourced from the brewery. Pours unclear amber with a foamy, off-white head. Salty berries in the snout, sweat, wood, leather. Light-meidum sweet flavour with strong acetic twang, more leathery berries, salty sweat, mellow woody dryness. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Tart finish, some lemon juice, alcohol, more vinegar and acetic bite my berries. Excellent.

Bodney Bier Huis bottleshare. Thanks to the team. Almost clear deep reddish beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft thin creamy sweetness. Typical sour red/brown tangy fruits with a red wine tangy finish. Little ripe orange. Light semi dry finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle. RadBeerCo. Hazy, dark copper colour. Messy, lacing, lasting, beige head. Nose has plum stone. Cherry stone. Sweet balsamic. Port wine. Some raisin. Some red wine dregs. Some rotted wood. Taste is earthy, vinous, and twangy sour. Some vinous bitterness. Medium body. Some acidity. Foamy carbonation. Vinous twang to finish. Nice beer, that could probably get even better, some way down the line.
