Dark Sour Ale aged in Red Wine & Bourbon Barrels with Black Currants

VVV has a strong and boundless energy formed from the blending of two beers into something much, much greater than the sum of its parts: A Belgian Dark Strong Ale, aged 3 years and 5 months in Red Wine barrels, blended with a Sour Red Ale aged 8 months in second use Bourbon Barrels. The blend was then rested on black currants and refermented for an additional 2 months.

Pouring deep burgundy with a tan cap of fine rocky foam that continuously produces a lazy stream of bubbles from the bottom of the glass. Bold, boisterous, and jammy to the point of true decadence and expressing aromatic notes that span a gamut of dark fruit— black currant, cherry, and fig jam. A warm and welcoming toasty malt character complimented by oaky red wine lactone, suggesting vanilla, baking spice, and caramel. Light, leathery, and musty yeast funk, builds an additional layer of balance and complexity. Finishes as bold as it begins, mouth-watering and palate-coating with moderate acidity and oak tannin.
