Barrel-aged Farmhouse Ale w/ Black Currants 500ml Bottle Conditioned

This ruby-colored farmhouse ale was aged for 6 months in oak barrels with three different strains of Brettanomyces, and then for an additional 3 months with black currants. Time in barrels with Brett and whole fruit brings out not only black currant flavor, but raspberry and stone fruit esters as well. The impression of mild fruit sweetness is subdued by oak tannins, acidity and funk.
