Vintage 2021. Wild/ Sour dark ale aged in oak barrels

From Alvinne's Facebook: " It was supposed to be Barrels out of Bond, but a typo decided otherwise ?? This one is my absolute favorite. It's great in it's simplicity, yet so complex. A Belgian style farmhouse tripel, brett, Morpheusyeast and a Vermouth barrel. That, time and that magic Alvinne juju. At Alvinne, we are storytellers, what a great story this beer tells. Oh, and about those Barrels out of B(l)ond, pretty sure many Fellows will love this story as well ... The Dwarves are captured by the Elves and brought before the Elven-king, but Bilbo evades discovery by using the Ring. The Dwarves refuse to tell Thranduil why they were in the forest, and are locked up in separate cells as a result. Bilbo, invisible, wanders Thranduil’s halls until hatching a plan. He discovers that barrels of wine, sent by the men of Lake-town, periodically enter the castle through an underground river, and the Elves return the empty barrels in the same manner. On the night of a great feast, ...

"Islay Brut is a blend of five barrels from four separate worts produced in June and November 2019, and May and October 2020. They fermented in small Islay whisky barrels, imparting aromas of maritime peat. The blend was made in August 2022 and refermented with golden caster sugar for a further year to produce a strong and dry beer. Finally, it received a large dose of bottle primings to produce a Champagne type carbonation.".

"Spon - 2 Year Blend : This is a blend of 1 - 2 year old spontaneously fermented beer. Inspired by the Lambic tradition - brewed with a turbid mash, long boil, aged hops - then cooled overnight in our coolship where it was naturally inoculated with native wild yeast - bacteria. Following the overnight cooling, this inoculated liquid was filled into rinsed - steamed neutral oak wine barrels where the beauty of spontaneous fermentation evolved over the months - years. The beer in your glass is a true wild ale. Absolute terroir. We hope you enjoy it."

"Barrel aged golden sour ale, with local elderflowers."

18 months BA Sour (lambic inspired) w. apple blossoms, elderflowers, gooseberries, red currant and meadowsweet.

"Barrel-aged wild blond beer with elderflower. Once a year we brew a special blend for Dauw. After initial fermentation, when sugars are still present, we infuse the beer for one day with freshly picked elderflower. This results in an overwhelmingly aromatic beer, which becomes more rounded after long barrel aging. By mixing 3 years of vintages, we bring a lot of complexity to the beer. The young barrels add bitterness and floral scents, whereas the older barrels add ripeness and soften the character. Dew is a nice sour beer with rich elderflower, green pepper and citrus. In its aftertaste you can find the soft bitterness and the long lasting tones of spring blossom aromas."

"Grondslag is a bière de coupage composed of our oldest and best barrels. It is created to let you experience the natural flavours of barrel-aged beers, without additions and without carbonation. This really brings out the texture of the beer. Grondslag is a beer close to our core; a beer that shows the power of blending and the purity of aging." best before is 07/10/2023

"Still is a single barrel bottling of four year old beer, brewed in March 2018. We have been hoping to find a barrel that would have enough character and bite to exist without the need for carbonation. The wort was made using a turbid mash and underwent an extended boil with large quantities of aged hops. After two nights in our coolship, the wort was transferred to a single 500 litre barrel for four years of fermentation and maturation. The resulting beer was bottled still, without the addition of sugar to produce a refermentation. It has a significant richness for the abv, balanced by a striking hop bitterness, and lingering tannin from the four years in oak."

"Ivy is a beer made with 100% regionally grown pale malted barley. In the kettle, it sees both three to four-year aged whole leaf hops, as well as pellet hops from the most recent harvest. Both are grown here in Oregon. It is the most simple of our recipes, yet one of the most complex in expression. One malt, one hop, our wonderful local water, and time. Ivy spends two years in neutral wine puncheons. We choose from these barrels a blend that is funky, but not too funky. Tart, but not too sour. Complex, but still hedonistic. Really, a blend that we are happy to make, to blend, and ultimately to share, in celebration of our new home."

"A Spontaneous Wild Ale with Cider Apples Aged in Oak Barrels for Four Years, Made with Our Friends at Baird & Dewar"

"A 50/50 blend of barrel aged Gold with fresh Gold that has just completed primary fermentation. This composition of aged and fresh beer is what we had originally intended for our Gold. It didn't end up like that though, as Gold is 100% barrel aged. We love the fresh fermentation esters and bright hop character we get in our young fermentations. This is what we focus on in beers like The International & As It Were (coming in November). But we can't hide that we also love the apparent funk, creamy mouthfeel and complex fermentation flavours of aged beer. We dont think of this blend as being a best of both worlds, but more an attempt (and this is only the first one) to marry these flavours harmoniously. One of the beers that really got me thinking about making mixed culture beers a...

"Glass is our series of beers characterised by a delicate minerally flavour, fresh kettle-hop aroma, and the addition of sea salt in the blending tank. This is our third iteration. In February, April and August 2020 we produced extra pale, minerally worts, with fresh East Kent Goldings hops. The fresh hops add wonderful aromatics (quite distinct from dry hop character) as well as acting to restrain the acidity produced in the wild fermentation. We made a blend from the four most delicate tasting barrels and added a touch of Cornish sea salt into the blending tank to give a crisp finish."

Blend of BA Golden Sour ales

Season 2022-2023. Bottled on 21/03/2023. "The foundation and our essence: lambik as it should be; pure, spontaneous and complex. For six years, three consecutive brews from March 2017 fermented and matured in the same oak barrel. This fine lambik was bottled in a dark brown bottle and finished with the most excellent cork. For even longer cellar ageing."

Season 2021-2022. Bottled on 28/062/2022. "For this Strenge Winter, we brewed a full malt wort with the addition of candied sugar on the coolship. This wort was brewed on April 16th 2020. We left it for more than two years to age on three different barrels. Upon bottling, we blended with some young lambik for continued bottle fermentation, as well as a small part of reduced wort from a Nocturne brew. The weighted average age of the blend upon bottling was therefore more than 23 months."
