This year, we've crafted what we consider to be our most complex variations of Sinister Kid to date. We took the base Belgian Strong Ale recipe, fermented it with our native New England yeast culture for two years in both bourbon and wine barrels, then transferred the beer to our oak foeders to condition on a variety of fruit. The six resulting blends are intricate expressions of wild yeast, time, and fruit all coming together harmoniously in the bottle.
Three of the 2019 Wild Sinister Kid blends were conditioned upon twice the amount of fruit as their counterparts to achieve a truly elegant and fruit-forward final blend. Consisting of 50% bourbon barrel-aged beer and 50% wine barrel-aged beer, Wild Sinister Kid: Double Blackberry Cabernet presents a deep plum color in the glass. Intense blackberry aromas wash over the palate immediately followed by notes of fig, raisin, and cherry. Mildly warming, with a touch of sweetness and rounded acidity, this beer is elegantly balanced and refined.
Malt: Pilsner Malt, Abbey Malt, Special B, Carafa III
Hops: US Goldings
Additional Ingredients: Blackberry, Cabernet Grapes, Belgian Candi Syrup, Turbinado Sugar

A 330ml bottle, bottled on 19th September 2019. Poured into a Lindemans stemmed lambic teku/tulip glass.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: Aroma and flavours were enjoyable, and the 10% ABV was well hidden.

Juicy blackberry and red wine on the nose. Dark maroon color in appearance. Really juicy blackberry flavors, grape soda, just enough bourbon and red wine tannins to add a bit of bite and depth, without being overpowering. Balanced. Smooth, thin mouthfeel. Clearly lots of care went into this beer with the aging and blending.
