In late spring 2022, we received a batch of 2-year-old Danish Shipyard Ale that had been aged in Chardonnay barrels at the Baghaven Blenderia from passionate port lover Ehren Schmidt. We carefully blended it with 1-year-old lambic and a touch of very young lambic. After an additional 2 years of aging in Bordeaux barrels, we finalized it with a 50/50 ratio of lambic and Danish Shipyard Ale.

Super elegant, incredibly nose with very clear port notes. Can taste Ehren’s hand here, reminiscent of Insight Cellars, vinous, with a lovely tart fruit character
