We mashed one tonne of Oak Smoked Wheat into this wheat wine. It’s basically a Grodzizkie dialled up to 11, but we didn’t stop there. We aged Embers an additional 6 months in freshly emptied Añejo tequila barrels, bringing forth sweetness and notes of citrus, vanilla, raisin and earth.

Bottle. Color: Clear amber, yellow-ish off-white head. Aroma: Smoked malt, hints of caramel, raisins and citrus fruit. Taste: Smoked malt, hints of smoked meat, caramel, subtle vanilla, raisins and citrus fruit notes. Hoppy backbone. Smooth (wheat) mouthfeel. Over moderate sweet, moderate bitterness. Light boozy hints. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Nice complexity, unusual taste.

0.75l bottle thanks to Lore. Opaque orange body with basically no head. Smoky aroma and taste with notes of orange zest, caramel, raisins and dark sugar. A tiny bit of booze show up, but nothing harsh. Nice one.

opalescent dark amber to copper colour, minimal ecru lacing; aroma of smokey-peaty, apple peel, some raisins and leather notes; taste is quite the same; not that bad, but I somehow expected much more...

Bottled 750ml (PBF XIII)
Amber colour, small beige head. Deep smoked sweetish nose. Medium-bodied. Smoke, grapes, raisins, maybe that tequila . Smoke is quite rare element in this kind of beer. Interesting and at least complex.
