Bourbon barrel-aged ale with huckleberries, blueberries, and Tahitian vanilla beans

Here at The Bruery, we spend a lot of time pondering the essential questions in life. Like, what makes a pie a pie, and not a cobbler? Is it still a pie if it’s square-shaped? Inspired by the pie-like desserts, we treated our bourbon barrel-aged ale with blueberries, huckleberries, and Tahitian vanilla beans for a big doughy dessert beer.

Bottled 750ml. -at Goblet Zagreb. Dark reddish/brown coloured, small off-white head, berries in the nose. Berries, dominant blueberry, light vanilla and notes of barrel with noticable alcohol. Mild acidic berry finish. Quite nice but also quite expensive (45euros).

på Tapphuset. Här har vi mörka bär som björnbäret utav helvetet . Ja påminner i smaken om en bra amerikan strong ale där björnar stoppat sina bär i. Alltså stora bär. Sk Björnbär. Finns lite blåbär där också. God men lite väl bärig.

At share, from me: pours deep purple. Aroma is delicious huckleberry, blueberry, malt. It is really a wonderful fruity aroma. Taste is lush fruitiness, hefty maltiness. One of the most unique beers I have had. not something I would generally seek out, but well worth it.
