This is the second in our annual series of barrel aged beers fermented with wine grapes. This version is a blend of 5 barrels that refermented on whole Carménère wine grapes for around 3 months. The resulting beer has a beautiful purple color, a lovely barrel aroma, and drinks like a wonderful marriage of the grape and the selected beer.

Wine red in color. With almost a rust rim. Heavily tart. It's funky and has that typical wild ale barnyard, but it's almost like it's gone bad. It's too tart and has a weird musky edge to it. I normally would crush a 750ML bottle of a 6% beer that I liked and I did NOT finish this.
