Our on-going expedition mostly dedicated to those ever questing ‘rye, whiskey, bourbon, etc. barrel-aged beer zealots’. Never heard of the rarely seen, Bavarian-indigenous mammal the Wolpertinger? Well much like the actual Wolpertinger, our “Wolpie” is a little Bavarian in nature; scarcely seen (brewed once a year to celebrate UCBC’s anniversary) and definitely difficult to define…taxonomically speaking. We define “Wolpie” (beer-style wise) as a bourbon barrel-aged Winged Nut, a potent chestnut beer fermented with a Bavarian Weissbier yeast strain.

Thanks Thomas for sharing this one!
Served in a small tasting goblet, quick review from notes.

Pours a nice reddish brown chestnut color, it shows good clarity, with a thin layer of tan foam on the surface that quickly parts after pouring.

Aroma is a little off, something funky and wild in there, a little leathery. Bourbon is noticeable, lending some brown sugar sweetness.

Tart and astringent, it was clearly infected. Very thin and over attenuated in feel, another bad sign. Some remnants of nutty chestnut and bourbon heat, but obscured by the overwhelming astringency. Had no idea this was considered a Weizenbock, wouldn't say that really fits. Drain pour.

Pours a clear, dark brown color. 1/4 inch head of an off-tan color. Slight retention and slight lacing. Smells of strong bourbon, wood, sweet malt, roasted malt, and strong alcohol. Does not seem to fit the style of an Herbed / Spiced Beer, but rather an American Strong Ale. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of bourbon, strong alcohol, wood, sweet malt, and roasted malt. Overall, the bourbon is over-powering and the main aspect of both aroma and body. The review as a Herbed/Spiced beer is much lower than it would be under an American Strong Ale.
