Draw Together is made from a blend of diverse beer styles from our aged barrel stock. This edition is a blend of two distinct barrel fermented beers: California chardonnay barrel-fermented strong golden ale, brewed in April 2020. Remarkably clean tasting from the barrel. Minimal funk and fairly low acididty. Fairly boozy on the nose, with hints of apricot and creamy American oak. Lots of interesting aromatics and satisfyingly rich, but a tad flabby on the palate. Bordeaux barrel fermented red rye beer, brewed in May 2022. Lots of sweet red fruit and a dry cocoa finish. A touch more acid than the golden ale, but still quite restrained. Fairly high barrel tannin, that when comined with the drying character from the roasted malts makes this barrel alone feel rather thin. Again, lots of interesting aromatics but not a complete drink on its own. The finished beer was primed with a good dose of sugar to produce lively carbonation, to give this fairly weighty beer an extra lift.

April fun at Ratebeer Odense. Dark red amber with a lasting off-white head. Light fruity aroma with raspberry and red wine with a touch of toffee. Dry and tart fruity flavour with toffee and tannins.

Bottle. Mills online. Deep lightly hazed ruby red. Thick solid pale beige head. Looks well. Wow. Big barrel character here. The Chardonnay first, coming across buttery and mineraly all at once. Spicy Bordeaux fruit. Overall it’s tart, super juicy and mouth-wateringly fruity. Some new leather funk. Whiff of bright brett. Waffling here tbh. Awesome blend. Mills at the top of their game. --- Beer merged from original tick of Draw Together - Blend Two on 03 Nov 2023 at 15:51 - Score: Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 9.5 | Flavor - 9.5 | Texture - 10 | Overall - 9. Original review text: One I missed so “rating” taken from my UT check in. Mills at the top of their game. The Chardonnay and the Bordeaux barrels have been wrung with this one. Would drink daily.
