In 2018 we challenged ourselves to using an array of fruit new to our palates and practices. When offered a high quality, freshly picked Black Currant sample, we couldn't resist. We present to you a metamorphosis for your sense. Using 12-36 month aged Agrestic Ale as a base, to which we add1.5lbs/gal Black Currants, the beer undergoes the final maturation in our French Oak "Fruiders" for an additional four months. A convergence of supple tanning and deep purple pigments, gooseberry jam, a month-watering acidity and earthy leather elicit notes of a beer having vinous roots. A new variant to one Barrelworks pioneers is born. Santé!

Flaska från SBs beställningssortiment. Brunröd vätska med en del sediment och krämigt smutsrosa skum. Vinös med strama tanniner och mycket vinbär. Inte lika komplex som bryggeriets bästa men mycket gott.

Bottle. Clear deep red with a beige head that hangs around as a coat for a while. Aroma of blackcurrants and the autumnal forest. Soft texture, moderate sourness. Not very acetic. Gradually berries give way to mellow oak. Not all that complex but genuine and expressive.

375 ml corked & caged bottle, batch #001, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.3%. Deep red to purple colour, large to moderate pink head. Strong aroma of blackcurrants, brettanomyces, oak and lactic acid. Medium sour and fruity flavour, with the same elements as the aroma, lactic acid dominates.

Bottle from (I think) ex-Bottle Shop, Bermondsey stock. Hazy dark red pour with a fluffy pink head. Nose is blackcurrant jam, blueberries, apple and blackberry pie, lots of dark berries. Taste is tart dark berries, lots more blackcurrant jam, oak, funk, redcurrants, red grapes. Long, dry tart & and mildly eye wincing finish. Lovely!
