This beer was born from some of the oldest, most precious oak barrels we’ve had the pleasure of filling. Arada is blended from beer spanning multiple seasons of spontaneous brewing that was fermented and aged in barrels that had previously held Oloroso Sherry for 15-30 years. It’s amazing how well Sherry works with this style of beer - layers of dried fruit, vanilla and a distinct nuttiness from the oak balance the minerality and punchy acidity of the base to help create one of our most complex and intriguing Music Vale blends to date.

Bottle share by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark. A lightly hazy golden yellow with ring of off-white head. Aroma is strong tart fruit, barnyard funk, oak. Taste is strong tart fruit, nutty oak, sherry. Smooth, medium bodied, soft carbonation. Not a style I would gravitate to but well made.

375mL bottled 6/28/22, drunk 11/11/23. Clear, warm-toned honey. Small, white head to ring. Not too heavy on the sherry. Light apple, white pepper, paper maché. Strong, fruity Brett with mild lactic acidity and moderate rich malts with good attenuation. Sweet, rich, malty, fruity Brett and peppery sherry. Good lactic acidity. It's sour but it's properly malty and rich. This is really nicely done and a hell of an homage to Zenne (don't know that it is an homage to Zenne, but it could be).

375 ml bottle shared by ClarkVV. TY! Aroma has dried fruit, acid and oak. The flavor has sharp acid, mild dry fruits and mild herb hints. Very flavorful and interesting. For a style I am not crazy about, this is nice!
