Our version starts as a malty red lager fermented at warm temperatures along with some house wild cultures. It then hibernated in oak wine barrels for a year with our house Brett blend.

A beautiful beer with loads of complex funk and oak in the the aroma, notes of cherries and dark stone fruit. A beer that should age wonderfully for years, with more funk developing with time
