Varvar - Amalgam (Red Wine Barrel-Aged Wild Ale)

Amalgam is a masterfully crafted blend of wheat and rye bases, matured for over 12 months in selected Red Wine oak barrels. This extended aging allowed a complex marriage of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus to transform the beer into a bone-dry, sophisticated Wild Ale.
The result is a beautifully tart and tannic experience. Expect an aromatic bouquet of soaked apples, bright citrus, and green grapes, balanced by the spicy character of rye and the elegant woody finish of the wine cask.
The Blend: A unique Wheat and Rye base for added texture and spice.
Barrel Profile: 12+ months in Red Wine oak casks.
