Starting with a malty brown ale base beer we fermented the brew in stainless steel tanks for two weeks with our house ale yeast. Once the beer had reached near terminal gravity it was racked into 3 French Oak Wine barrels that previously held red wine and were new to our brewery. We topped off the barrels and spiked them with some “Tiny Bubbles” cultures courtesy of our good friends Eric Rose and Hollister Brewing Company. We then cellared the barrels for 10 months before we added 30 lbs of Cabernet Sauvignon Grapes provided for us by Frangipani Winery just up the road from us in Temecula, Ca. The beer also received a healthy dose of fresh Brettanomyces raised in our lab. The brew then fermented for three months on the grapes before we bottled it in late December. Track 1′s flavor expresses both a huge Brettanomyces presence as well as a moderate level of grape character resulting in a winey oak laced brown ale with exceptional depth for such a low ABV beer.
C’mon, everyone knows you’re not supposed to run with the devil. But every sinner does. Why, because we can.

We all need that feeling of fear wrapped in danger and the excitement of being shot from the adrenaline canon. Maybe you too love that feeling of living on the edge hanging precipitously close to never coming back. Because only the Devil can take you there, he’s your favorite wing-man capable of simultaneously killing and saving you without ever offering redemption.

Good thing he can drive like moonshiner evading the law or you’d both be in trouble. Full throttle on the highway to hell is where you’re headed tonight. That is, if the Devil wants your soul. Hopefully he’s only flirting with your mind.

After tempting your spirit and temporarily inhabiting your soul, he’ll just kick you to the curb. Then, you’ll be left to decide if you ever want to take a ride with the Prince of Darkness again.

So ask yourself… Am I feeling lucky?

Bottle bought through @ Drikkeriget. Pours murky brown with a very small goldenish offwhite head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is malty and fruity with dark bread, crispbread, sour grapes, hay, dry soil, moist soil, lemon zest and hints of vinegar and rubber. Taste is sour, malty and fruity. Mouthfeel is dry, tart, mouthpuckering and light to medium bodied. Finish is sour with crispbread, sour grapes, lemon, vinegar, rubber, hay, dry soil and lemon zest. Very sour without much supporting the acidity. Grapes are there but would like both more of those and the malts. --- Beer merged from original tick of Track #1: Runnin’ with the Devil on 15 Oct 2016 at 18:17 - Score: 7.

Bottle thanks to Adam! Pours a bright rosy red with a white head that dissipates nearly completely. Aroma has lots of red grapes with a bit of acid and a dry oaky red wine note. Flavor is similar with lots of red grapes with some light acid and a dry slightly red wine note that has a slight bite to it.

Bottle. A rim of beige bubbles forms over a more or less clear amber body. The aroma is rubbery at first, with some dried fruits and fruit caramel. A lemony, glue-like touch too. Strange, but it smells wonderful anyway, which my words don’t suggest. It’s pretty much the same in the flavor, less rubbery though, with more focus on the dried fruits. Tart and full-bodied with some carbonation. Lasting finish. Not the most exiting of the tracks beers, but it’s a fine brew anyway. 141220
