Barrel-Aged Wheat Wine
We met the great guys from Budapest's Monyo Brewing during one of our travels and found we have many similar ideas about beer. It was natural then that the conversation quickly turned to making a beer together.
The project: make a strong and unique brew using some nordic ingredients. The result: we made a Wheat Wine, added Norwegian black currants, oak-aged the beer in third-fill Breckenridge Bourbon barrels for several months, and then added just a hint of vanilla. The finished beer is as big as it sounds, vinous and tart with notes of whiskey and fruit. Recommended serving temp. 10-12°C."

Bottle, at KCBD19. Good vanilla aroma. Cloudy dark red brown colour. Small white head. The flavour starts off with a great vanilla note and a mild sweetness. A clean acid balances it off nicely.

Murky brownish. Aroma is a little rum, raisins, much wood, caramel. Taste is surprisingly sour and sweet, cloying and so sweet it gets bitter again. Very strange and not very enjoyable. Not drinkable either.
