Puddin' Wine

Barleywine - English

Uniquely odd, yet semi-traditional, Puddin’ Wine is a collaboration with our ‘brothers from another mother,’ Todd and Jason Alstöm of BeerAdvocate. Looking to Jason’s legendary Christmas pudding recipe as inspiration, this English-style Barleywine delivers an infusion of flavors through the addition of sultanas, cherries, black currants, plums, dark brown sugar and hazelnuts. Brewed with a blend of Maris Otter, Pils and dark crystal malts alongside a bit of toasted wheat, Puddin’ Wine is then rounded out by aging on Terra d’Oro Zinfandel Port barrels for a full 6 months. The result is a full-bodied beer brimming with notes of dark pit fruit, smooth caramel and toffee

This is... Interesting. A bit too complex for my tastes, but it is malty and sweet with a slightly sour undertone that does not taste off.

Highly complex, deep red/brown barleywine. Red fruits, wine, brown sugar, and caramel all shine through.

Very sweet and fruity. Lots of currant and dark cherry. Boozy, with a lighter body than it looks. Tasty Christmas pudding type flavor!

After a few years it's very different. Distinctly sour, dried fruit rather than sweet/jammy. Would love to be able to directly compare old and new.

2017 Vintage. Odd beer with a touch of sour to it. Unexpected.
