Marin Old Dipsea Barleywine Bourbon Barrel (Brett)
From Marin – “In May 2009 we brewed a special batch of Old Dipsea Barleywine and aged it for 10 months in 4 Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels. We added a special strain of wild yeast or brettanomyces to further ferment and add complexity. You’ll notice an extra fruity character resembling pineapple and a tanginess not found in our standard Old Dipsea. We have bottled 100 cases and wax sealed the crowns.”

Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Sweet vinous port wine, cherry and funk.
Taste: Burnt brown sugar, sweet cherry, alcohol and wood.
Mouthfeel: Sticky, low carbonation, which in my opinion makes it perect.
Overall: An amazing treat. The bourbon barrel and the hit of brett deserve a round of applause. They didn’t step on each other, and contributed to a wonderful experience.
