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.

Cloudy amber. Big malty sugary nose, boozy and kinda salty, a little cheesy maybe. The taste is even less interesting - big sugars - nope, huge sugars! - loss of alcohol spice and heat. That all. It does not seem to have the oxidized nutty sherry complex notes of other Xyauyù beers.

At this point I learned that Xyauyu is the name of the imaginary friend of the daughter of the master brewer. God bless.

Bottle 0.5l at Brewdog Helsinki, Helsinki. Color is dark ruby with almost no head. Aromas and flavors: Sweetness, some soy, ripe fruits, some sugary sweetness and malts. Sweet but quite enjoyable. Yep, it is very heavy. Some vineous elements after warming.
