For our Maturation series, we select beers aged in a single type of barrel to showcase how different casks affect the final character of a beer. We aged our Danish Wild Ale in a large, very old Oloroso Sherry Bocoy cask made of chestnut wood for two years, and blended this with a smaller amount of two-year-old Danish Wild Ale aged in a traditional oak Oloroso barrel. The Oloroso casks enhanced the beer with flavors of toasted walnuts, caramelized fruit and spices.

Jens Smagning 26/02/2026 - funky and lightly tart fruity with pleasing notes of orchard fruit, getting the sherry washed barrel accents, medium body and acidity, some herbal spice, tart delicate sherry infused lingering finish. Lovely.

Huge funky nose right when opened but it disappeared quickly, nose of nutty oak and pine needles, flavor is light barn and farminess, juniper and black pepper. Delish! Wish it was more flavor packed but still super interesting and crisp tastiness.
