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.

Dark brown, no head, pours flat. Rich malt nose, lots of dark sugars, light coffee, balanced barrel that pops a bit in the finish. The body is thick and somewhat oily. The coffee has faded, the barrel comes through well. The complexity of the sugars is lesser on the palate than on the nose. Overall, comes together beautifully. Right on.

On tap at Threefold. Pours nearly black with a minimal head. Tons of bouron, charred wood, and earthy roasted malt on the nose. Flavour has a great roasted malt base; burnt sugars, bread crusts; and a charred bourbon barrel character laced throughout the beer. This is incredible, the base beer is great and the level of integration with the barrel is top-tier.

[Blend 2] On tap at Threefold. Pours a very dark brown with minimal head. Big tonka beans up front with lovely notes of bourbon, coffee, bread crusts, and dark sugars. Flavour is very complex with lots of coffee, vanilla bean, bourbon, bready malts, thick dark sugars. Very well integrated. This is fantastic.

On tap at Threefold, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma is full of intense dark roast coffee upfront, subtle yet elegant bourbon barrels, and some dark cocoa. Flavour is deep, with intense bourbon character, deep coffee, good base malts, and some cocoa. Really great depth and integration, with tons of depth from those barrels. One of Temporal’s best.

500 ml bottle. Pours a hazy gold with lots of suspended stuff. Aromas of floral gin, lemons, muted quince and sharp wheaty malts. Flavors follow same with more pronounced quince. Like a gin cocktail, so nice in that way…
