| Description: | A collaboration between Brooklyn Brewery and The Red Hook Winery, this beer has been aging in barrels on wine lees. Lees are the sediment that fall out of wine at the end of fermentation. The sediment includes yeast but also a lot of other compounds from the wine. Because these are naturally-made wines and they do not include any lab yeasts, you are basically using the winery to collect the microflora from the atmosphere, which is in Long Island, and concentrating it all into these barrels. The result is something kind of on the border of wine and beer. Aromas and flavors of peach, apricot, toffee, grassy, and a bit earthy. 9% ABV | |
