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!

Bottle at home, from 2016. Cloudy in appearance with just a bit of residue. Aroma is funky and citrusy; the brett is there, the sourness doesn't completely take over though. Rich sweetness, malt is accompanied by the nutty, earthy aromas of the chestnuts. Nice balance and good complexity. Light to medium body. Flavours are a mix of pale malts with a touch of caramel and an acidity which doesn't take over. Really refreshing with tart citrus flavours. Earthy flavours and nuttiness is also quite present and integrates itself nicely into the flavour profile. Finish is rather dry and tart. Really lovely saison, distinctly sour but not overtly so.

14 oz draft at Jolly Pumpkin Pizzeria and Brewery in Detroit, Michigan. The pour is a hazed golden with a frothy white head. The aroma is nut, traditional Jolly Pumpkin yeast of tart, funk Brett. The taste is a nice blend of the base funk saison and the nut character carrying the finish. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and the funk Brett softly tart finish. Fun beer.

Bodney Towers Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable carbonation. Very tangy lemon and orange. Light malts underneath. Dry floral bitterness and some bitter nuts. Light dry finish. A bit edgy for me.

Bottle thanks to my Mom! Pours a clear gold with a white some visible head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a decent amount of chestnut with light grains, oak and a bit of light tart fruit underlying. Flavor has a good amount of chestnut and oak with light grains and growing light tart fruits.

Bottle shared in Hackney - picked up at Kris Wines. Pours unclear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has some pale grains, tangy tangerine, a little sweat, funk, pale wood. Light sweet flavour with some nice funky dryness, old wood, lemon, peach. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly drying in the finish, with nips of melon, grass, hay, lemon, more musty funk. Great stuff.

Bottle care of LKS. It pours crazy orange with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, funky, tart, apricot, peachy, nectarine, shebert, lemonade and funky. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, earthy, funky, bready, earthy, musty, dirt, mouldy, blue cheese and tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good fun.
