Son Of Toucan Sam
Illuminated Brew Works

This is a farmhouse we brewed in collaboration with Executive Chef Rodney Staton last winter. We made an all munich grist and boiled it for 4 hours in the traditional style of bock beer. We then added Rodney's "fruity loops" spice blend to offer a citrus and earth nose. Fermented on Tim, our house yeast strain, we then put this beer into cabernet barrels for 9 months. The result is an exceptional and clean farmhouse that sets alongside red meat like Starsky sat next to Hutch. Pro tip: we conditioned this on Brettanoymyces Bruxellensis so, while the beer is great now, if you hold it at cellaring temps for another 3 or 4 months this beer is going to enter a stratosphere all it's own.
