Barrel-aged Mixed-culture Saison with Matsutake Mushrooms
This very small batch of beer was fermented in an oak barrel for a year with a mixed culture of brettanomyces and souring bacteria. We then stuffed in a bunch of matsutake mushrooms harvested by Mitch's parents in the forests around Terrace BC and left it for another six months.
Bottled on: April 11, 2025
Ingredients: Water, malted barley, triticale, wheat, buckwheat, matsutake mushrooms, hops, yeast, souring bacteria

375ml shared with Alex @ Ryan's deck enjoying a finally arrived warm days.
Aroma: nice farmhouse notes, with some fruity and little bit flowery notes.
Taste: along the same lines, nixe that's accompanied with a weird grainy character as well as some bitterness.
Overall: pleasant enough, but "Eleven" was better.

Poured from 375mL bottle. Hazy blonde with small white head. Earthy sourness with some underlying buckwheat character, okay.

375mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some tart citrus, rustic saison yeast, and a touch of oak. Flavour is very mineraly, rustic saison yeast, and a little oak. I don’t get any mushroom, just a lot of minerality, some neutral barrel, and rustic notes. It’s pretty good as an oaky saison. Good.

375mL bottle. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Gentle wild yeast on the nose. Flavour has a similar gentle yeast profile, some minerality, a bit of a chewy, mushroom stalk character, if I look for it. Not bad at all.

Draft at their anniversary party. Pale, some haze. Moderate tartness, maybe a hit of acetic in there, mild lemon note. Not noticing mushroom and fuck knows I’m looking for it…on the nose yes. Ok I do get some on the palate. It’s innocuous.
