Barrel-aged Sangria Sour with Merlot, Berries, and Citrus

This beer was produced by taking a barrel aged sour that underwent its primary fermentation on top of merlot pomace and then sending it through yet another fermentation with heaps of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and sweet orange zest for a bold sangria inspired profile before bottle-conditioning.

Dark purple, hazy. No head. Lots of merlot on this, deep berry notes. Tart and buggy and with lots of blackberry/raspberry character. A light bit of bugs and some wood. Soft with nuanced fruit character and deep vinous notes.

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a small pink head. Nose is full of dark red grape skins, citrus zest, mustiness, some wild bugs, and some tart berries. Flavour is full of musty red grape skins, citrus zest, wild bugs, and some tart berries. Lots of merlot character with just enough residual sweetness and a good amount of barrel and bugs. Excellent.
