Blended Saison + Truffles + Sage
Trøffeler is our debut collaboration with Denmark’s To Øl collective. Teaming up to make a Barrel-Age Saison made from a base of white spring Tuscany Truffles and Sage. Ithas been blended in Sauterne casks to add a sweet characteristic while still letting the yeast funk up the beer. We used foraged truffles from the Alba in Northern Italy, continuing our linage in using only the finest ingredients in our beers.
Based on our shared passion for pushing borders and using untraditional mixes of ingredients to make new and interesting takes on existing styles, this collaboration is uses a philosophy of balanced playfulness!

Draft at the Oslo Bar in Galway. Clear gold with a frothy white head. Aroma is a bit musty but still ladened with hints of spice, mostly clove. Taste is mildly tart, funky, with hints of lemon lime. Pleasantly refreshing. A touch thin. Good.

Keg at the Craft Beer Shop, Chalfont & Latimer, 23/07/18. Hazed yellow golden with a decent white cap. Nose is lemon rind, funk, straw, hedgerow, herbal notes, dusty fruits. Taste comprises light citric pissoi, truffle oil, herbal notes, light spice, wood must, grains, yeast esters, stale bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Interesting enough offering but not something id want too much of.

Keg at Belgium and Blues, Southampton. It pours clear yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is earthy, musty, funk, lemon - lime, gooseberry, tangy, kombucha and mushroom. The taste is crisp, dry, earthy, musty, woody forest floor, mushroom, herbal, vinous, white grape, lemon-lime and spice with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Actually not as crazy/weird/bad expected.
