Dinkum was brewed using an amalgamation of both ours and Nevel's approaches to making wild fermented beers. In this vein, we first produced a rich copper wort utilising floor malted, toasted and crystal malts from Warminster Maltings. To the boiling wort we added a mix of new growth blackberry leaves, picked from the lanes around the brewery, and Mystic hops, a new British variety displaying blackcurrant and citrus flavours. The finished wort was fermented in two red Bordeaux barrels with a mix of both Mills and Nevel's yeast cultures.
After 12 months the resulting beer was blended with two additional barrels of Bordeaux barrel-fermented 20-month-old amber beer, made with dark Munich malts

Bottle @ Cloudwater extravaganza night at Oluf B Gade. Thanks to SirAlex. Pours unclear amber copper with a small bubbly white head. Woody with a touch of red and green apples and red fruit. Crisp, dry and easy drinkable. Vinous. Tasty

750ml bottle, online from the source, solo-domed on Sunday. Pours light hazed amber with a decent beige head. Aroma: tart earthy berries, tannins, caramel hints, oak. Taste: light tart, light bitter, pronounced dryness, earthy, subtle vinous vibes, oak, more tannins. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Solid but not my favourite Mills

Bottle, via the online shop. Light haze on a pale, copper amber. Super thick, open bubbles of pale beige. Nose has bright hedgerow fruit. Some ripe citrus. Some oaky tannins. Some vanilla. Taste has sweet oak, and dry, earthy tannins. Light bitterness. Refreshing and bright on the palate. Foamy carbonation. Tart, fairly juicy, slightly vinous finish. Typically classy.
