Brekeriet Cassis is a sophisticated Wild Specialty Beer that showcases the intense, earthy character of blackcurrants married to a thirteen-month maturation in red wine barrels. The sensory experience is dominated by a sharp, puckering acidity and deep purple berry notes, supported by the complex barnyard and leather funk characteristic of Brekeriet's wild fermentation. Red wine barrel aging contributes structural tannins and vinous depth, while the fermentation profile ensures the finish is bone dry. The result is a vibrant, vinous ale where the concentrated tartness of the cassis and the subtle oak influence create a lingering, multi-layered, and refreshing sensory profile.
Appearance.Deep ruby to dark purple-magenta hue; pours with a thin, light pinkish-violet head that dissipates relatively quickly; slight haze present from the fruit and wild culture.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of fresh blackcurrant and dark berry skins; notable funky complexity featuring leather, wet hay, and earthy Brettanomyces; distinct vinous notes from the red wine barrels with a hint of toasted oak and vanilla.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply tart and puckering with intense blackcurrant flavor; malt is minimal and cracker-like, providing a neutral backdrop; moderate wood-derived tannins and red wine character add complexity; fermentation character is very dry with goat-like and earthy funk; finish is long, acidic, and bone dry.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, spritzy carbonation; noticeable tannic astringency from both the fruit skins and the 13 months of barrel aging; low alcohol warmth that is well-integrated.
