BAM DI CASTAGNA
"CHESTNUT BAM"
SOUR FARMHOUSE SAISON
BAM SEASONAL SERIES
ABV: 4.5%
IBU: 27
TIME IN OAK: 2 Months
HOPS: Michigan Churchkey Cascade & Michigan Churchkey Chinook
GRAINS: Pilsner, Pale, Oat Malt, & Crystal 30
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS: Chestnuts
LAST RELEASE: November 2017
Currently only available in 375 ml format.
A fall inspired version of Bam Bière - a richer, fuller recipe to start and of course we added a lot of chestnuts to the mash as well! Rich auburn, gently tart, notes of earthy chestnuts, flavors of cashew, taro, traces of autumn smoke and a slightly orange juiciness in the finish.
One day Bam, being the little gentlemen that he is, decided to become a farmer. He planted a veritable sea of chestnut trees, sat back and enjoyed the gentle whisper of the wind through their leafy green canopies. Every fall he enlists a lively horde of hard working squirrels to help him harvest the nuts for later roasting on an open fire. Then he sits back again and enjoys life. And his Michigan grown chestnut beer.
Cheers & Mahalo plenty!

Golden, just a bit of haze. Pretty big head. There's a nice bit of brett on the nose, but on the palate it's bitter, thin and harsh, Just a touch of brett. Not getting a whole lot of chestnuts.

375mL bottle, pours a clear golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out toasted nuts, rustic saison yeast, and a touch of funk. Flavour is quite funky, with rustic farmhouse yeast, some funk, and toasted nuts. Funky and rustic, with a dry, lightly citric finish. Very good.

Bottle from 2016 shared at Kim Yong Un buurtcentrum. Hazy golden with big white head and some yeast floating around. Soft spicy yeast, light lactic, lemon, wheat, quite floral, lots of Brett, soft white wine, light earthy, more floral and herbal notes, reminds me of spring. Under medium sour, sweet and bitter. Over light bodied with soft creamy feel. Really like it though I don’t get any chestnuts.
