Intiction is a mixed culture fermentation which we barrel age in Merlot barrels with freshly pressed Merlot grapes. This complex beer has nuances along with a slightly tanic finish from the grape skins. Intinction is refermented in the bottle creating a natural carbonation and a small layer of yeast sediment.

Lots of vinuos flavour from the wine barrel. Pours murky red with decent head. Tangy finish with some oaky barrel notes. Tap at Toronado.

From a 375 ml bottle. Aroma is full of grape must and oak notes with lighter notes of the base beer. Some tannins and hints of cherry, cassis and dark stone fruit skins. Pours a somewhat clear light reddish color with hints of orange hues and a small, thick, slightly pink head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. Flavor is slightly sweet with a dry, tannic finish. Lots of must and grape skin tannins with light oak notes. Some cherry and plum skins with light berry notes as well. Medium high bitterness from the tannins. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer with great grape notes. Really excited to see the grapes they continue to experiment with for this base beer.
