“Blood for Blood” is a far-out, riffed-out, spazzed-out Mixed Culture Dark English Mild fermented in Puncheons, aged in Red Wine Tequila Barrels, and conditioned on Ugandan Vanilla Beans and Sumac before an extensive bottle conditioning process with TX Honey. Say that a few times fast! Or…just once…at normal speed…it is a lot. So we just dubbed it as a Red Wine and Tequila Barrel Blended Oud Bruin. Close enough, right?

Two long years ago, we hosted the crew from @littlebrotherbrewing out to whip up a Dark English Mild, but we secretly sent about half of that batch to Puncheons to be fermented with our House Culture! We then transferred that Mild base into barrels that previously held Red Wine and Tequila where it conditioned for almost exactly one year. We then racked it out of barrels to condition on Ugandan Vanilla Beans and Sumac before bottling! After conditioning for nearly another 6 months with @walkerhoneyfarms TX Honey and our House Culture, we thought it was about time to bring it forth!

Labeled as a mild on the tap board @Dssolvr. Rich brown stemless pour, slightly transparent. Caramel, nutty, cream, sour fruit, cooking oil nose. Caramel, oxidation, red wine, lime juice, popsicle numbness, tequila is distracting. Tart, really acidic, semi-sweet. Trash juice bathtub cocktail. My fault for hoping.
