Collaboration with Boulevard

Terra Incognita’s third rendition features complex and earthy malt flavors enhanced by a masterful blend of character from barrel aging in both red wine and bourbon barrels that add notes of tart fruit, vanilla, and coconut.

The 2014 edition does not include the wild yeast Brettanomyces. It is a 55% blend of wine barrel ale, 32% bourbon barrel aged ale, and 13% fresh ale. The base beer is a hoppy, imperial brown ale.

Original rating May 27. 2017- 750 ml bottle, forgot about this in my fridge, approximately 2 years old- Pours dark hazy brown with a small tan head that reduces to a thin blanket. Aroma is cocoa, toffee, spices, coconut, wood, a bit of funk. The taste is oak barrel, coconut, toffee, chocolate, alcohol is noticeable yet in check. Not bad, a bit on the malty side for my tastes.

My neighbor and I found a bottle of this down in Champaign IL. It poured an opaque brown with ecru head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had hints of dark fruit and bourbon. The taste is very complex there is hints of plum, anise and bourbon. The Mouthfeel is fuller in body with smooth carbonation. Overall it's a solid beer and certainly worth a try.
