Common descriptors are
Honey Oakwine Blend is an intense barrel aged beer and mead fusion, a braggot, brewed originally in 2009 with our friend Ben Millstein of Kodiak Island Brewery, Alaska. After fermentation the braggot was racked into two different oak barrels, one priviously containing a Spanish Tempranillo based wine and one previously containing a French Pinot Noir based wine. After years of aging with the wild yeast strain Brettanomyces the braggot is a rare and complex treat with fruitiness, barnyard accents and fortified wine coming through in this divinely weird brew.
