Xyauyù Kioke combines two great craft traditions in the world of fermentation: the art of beer making meets the art of producing craft soy sauce.
The Kioke is an open cypress wooden barrel produced by Yasuo Yamamoto (Yamaroku Shoyu) in Japan, on the island of Shodo, and is used for the fermentation of soy sauce. Xyauyù was created in Piozzo, Italy, at the Baladin farm brewery, from Teo Musso’s desire to explore the universe of oxidation.
The beer, once fermented and aged for 18 months, is open-air matured inside a new Kioke barrel, i.e. which has never been used for the fermentation of soy. The barrel gives resinous cypress notes and a slightly acidic touch, for a unique aromatic profile.

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 14%. Brown colour, no head, no carbonation. Interesting and unusual aroma of soy sauce and exotic woodwork, also vinous notes with raisins and dark dried fruits. Very sweet and rich flavour, notes of raisins and dark dried fruits again, also oxidised soy sauce and exotic woodwork. Hardly any bitterness.

0.375l bottle thanks to Lore. Hazy brown body without any head. Aroma and taste of caramel, burnt sugar, whiskey, orange zest, chocolate and a bit of nutmeg. Low carbonation with a silky texture. Great one.

Tasting @Open Baladin Torino. Ramata, un filo torbida, schiuma assente. Al naso note di vino passito, datteri secchi, etilico, leggermente cheesy, salsa di soia. In bocca è dolce con note di vino passito, legno e leggermente acidula sul finale. Corpo pieno, carbonazione assente. Clamorosa.

Glass from a bottle at Baladin Bologna, Italy. Pours brilliant brown, like a whisky, fairly sticky in the glass, no foam. Aroma is rich and warning, with wood, caramel, barrel ageing, dry fruits, fig. Body is really dense, with very subtle carbonation and a little spiciness. Quite sticky. Taste is rather sweet, but definitely not boring. Good oxidation. Final is long and sweet, embracing.
