Rust is a colossal double-barrel-aged wheatwine. It rested for ten months in a rye whiskey barrel (a store pick from our friends at Bob's Lake City Liquors). We then racked it into a Buffalo Trace barrel for an additional fourteen months.

On tap at MBCC 2023, pours black with almost no head. Aroma brings out intense bourbon barrels, dark sugars and a touch of caramel — wheaty character underneath the caramel. Flavour is rich and complex, with intense bourbon barrels, caramel, booze and dark sugars. Intense, boozy, but well-made.

Tap. Brown color with no head. Aroma is whiskey, vanilla, raisins, chocolate, fudge. Taste is the same, big wheat wine, boozy, whisky finish. Thicc mouthfeel, booze burn. A bit too much for me.
