Description
For 30 days, this honey-hued beer sleeps in hand selected
oak barrels, locked inside a bonded warehouse, gradually
assimilating the subtle flavours that reside in the wood.
Barrels are then emptied and maturation continues for a
further 47 days in a marrying tun where these natural flavours
infuse and fall into perfect balance. This 77-day process
is unique and produces a delicious, refreshing beer: Aromas
of vanilla and coffee, hints of citrus, with a malty, lightly
oaked, palate. Deftly balanced and light in texture, soothing
and warming in the finish.
Comments
BBC » I think
they might be onto something with their oak barrelling technique.
