From the Wood
Barrel-Aged Belgian Specialty Ale
To take an already complex Belgian dark ale, age it in bourbon casks and spike it with Brettanomyces is gutsy; the result has just as much opportunity for
brilliance as it does for disaster. From the Wood lands squarely on the side of the former: Figs and plum immerse the tongue before simultaneous waves of spicy bourbon and funky Brett wash back. Instead of battling for attention, the bourbon’s vanilla notes meld
seamlessly into the flavor, achieving a stunning level of sophistication.
