A Robust beer aged in a cellar for almost two years in a single large sherry barrel from Andalucia. It was brewed with organic malt and hops. It is an homage to an earlier era when the notion of time had a different meaning. A collaboration with my dear friend Jan K. of Hibernata brewing project, with whom I share a mutual love for classic beers and our affinity for delicately rustic beers. Here we present you with Saturn: brewed, fermented and aged as our interpretation of a doppelbock with a truly refined character. The resulting beer has those qualities that are dear to both of us: a delicate vinous character, roundness, elegance, a proud posture and a sense of time and place. Best shared in good company. Na zdravi! Jiří & Jan.

A 750ml dark gold waxed bottle, with a best before date of 20th March 2024. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.

Appearance: A nice clear amber copper colour with a big two finger dark beige head that had excellent retention and left lots of nice lacing.

Aroma: Light roast, sweet malty, vinous, red wine, cherry, prunes, with sherry notes.

Taste: Lightly sweet and sour, tart, cherry, red wine vinous, plum, prunes, sherry, toffee, and raisin, with a very light roasty finish.

Mouthfeel: Full bodied with soft carbonation.

Overall: Nice enjoyable vinous and sherry notes.
