Barrel Aged

We have experimented with the storage of high-gravity beers in wooden barrels since 2016. On the one hand, we use new oak barrels that get toasted in various ways for barrel aging. But in most cases, we experiment using older casks which used to host strong red wines, Andalusion sherry, choice whiskys, mild liqueurs and several other spirits. During the period of aging, which takes several months, the beers take on the aromas of the cask or the pre-used barrel and get subtle to distinctly discernible unique flavor notes. This results in new and exciting creations which, in most cases, mature to perfection in about nine to twelve months.
