Beer style: Bière de Garde / de Mars / Brut

Common descriptors are
Bourbon barrel aged Biere de Garde. Biere de Garde is a traditional, artisanal farmhouse ale from Northern France brewed and kept for consumption in warm weather. It is a medium bodied, malty amber ale brewed with high quality Pilsener and caramel malts. Delicately hopped with Czech Saaz for a nice spicy and peppery flavor and aroma. We then inserted this beer into used Angel’s Envy bourbon barrels and let it rest for 20 days. Just enough time to pick up the caramel, vanilla and coconut flavors from the residual bourbon and charred American oak.
