Description
Temporal Artisan Ales is a brewing project that is crafting delicate oak-aged beers in a shared space at Luppolo Brewing Company in Vancouver, BC. The beers we create are fermented 100% in our oak barrels over lengthy periods of time, imparting delicate complexity. Portions of separate barrels are blended to enhance specific characteristics unique to each barrel. Every beer we release has been meticulously crafted from start to finish.

Draft at Threefold in Vancouver. Nearly opaque dark brown pour. Finger-high mousse-like tan head. Mild aroma of dark chocolate. First sip is pure high quality semi-sweet cacao. Remarkably rich and luxurious. Silky mouthfeel. A hint of espresso bean on the back of the palate. A phenomenal brew.

0,33l bottle at home courtesy of Rob. Release No 36, 600 bottles. black color, tiny head head. smells molasses, marzipan, vanilla, bourbon, lightly nutty. very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes soy sauce, oxidized, peppery, spices, vanilla, corn sirup, molasses, nutty, bourbon. finishes light to medium sweet with notes of vanilla, bourbon and nutty notes. some weird oxidation notes going on at first, but this opened up pretty well, lots better after a while, overall still not the most exciting beer, but overall pretty good after it had time to breezy.

Pale, slight haze. Not much head. Smells rathee sharply acetic, has a soft plum note and a fair bit of acidity, though not as much on the acetic side as expected. For me the base doesn’t quite get there and the fruit expression is somewhat low.

Pale purple colour, hazy. Thin head. Tart, fairly heavy cherry, not necessarily bright up front but finishes decently. The base has a hint of sharpness to it, it’s not bad just a bit inchoate.

Medium brown, no head. Up front tonka bean and coffee, and bourbon. The palate is more complex, roast balancing with date sweetness, tonka accents and a finish that introduces tannins and alcohol. Full, silky body with just a bit of juiciness...the good kind.

Dark brown, aroma is rich. Beautiful stout, syrupy but lots of barrel…the bw adds nuance and complexity. Port and whiskey both hit really well. That little vinous note, blast of wood and alcohol in the finish. Rounded, layered, complex. Excellent.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 2026/07/14). Chill hazed blonde gold with small white head. Rustic wheat with very feint Belgian esters, light floral and grapefruit hops. Decent.

On tap at Threefold. Pours opaque yellow with a small white head. Loads of yeast and pot on the nose. Flavour has more of pot, chalk, orange pith. Less obnoxiously yeasty on the palate than on the nose. Having a hard time finding that Nelson. Not a big fan.

On tap at Threefold. Pours a slightly hazy blonde with a small white head. Floral hops and a rustic saison character on the nose. Flavour has a clean, rustic yeast character, nice biscuit malt base, and a grassy, floral hopping. Finishes crisp and slightly dry. Very nice hoppy saison.
