In late summer 2018, we made a macerated wine from Riesling grapes that we picked at the Mosel valley, mixed with some of our own white grapes. After primary fermentation, we added the wine to three barrels of beer we brewed six months earlier. Aged together in the barrel for six more months. Bottled March 2019.

750ml @ SF shared with almost full gang (missing two biggest guys only).
Aroma: minerally, like a lambic, nice funk, fruity.
Taste: along the same lines, quite aggressive, a lot of grapes skins.
Overall: good one.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma has a lot of earthy funk, musty white wine grape skins, and a bit of petrol. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of petroleum, white wine grape skins, earthy funk, and some rustic notes. Very complex funkiness/bugginess, subtle grape that has probably faded with age. Excellent.

Some haze. The aroma has a fair bit of riesling, a bit of bugginess and slight yeastiness and a touch of barrel. On the palate, it's got a lot of barrel, medium bugginess, with a nice riesling character. There's medium bitterness and it finishes with a bit of bitterness. Oh, this is good. Well-balanced, complex.

Poured from 750mL bottle (7/7% abv; bb 30/03/2022; Lot 2019/03/03). Hazed yellow gold with small white head. Muted riesling grapes, very feint lacto character, finish is a touch muted, dry-ish. Okay.

750mL bottle. Pours murky blonde with a white head. Nice buggy yeast and musty grape skins on the nose. Flavour has a musty yeast expression, soft white wine grapes, buggy. Nice complex yeast expression, grape skins adding a nice layer as well. Fantastic.

Shared at the antidoot tasting in Ghent, thnx to Tom ! Didnt take much notes at the time between ratebeer and brewver. This one was very balanced. Grape forward, but not overpoweringly so.
