CoolHead Brew
Põhjala

This barrel-aged Wheatwine, crafted in collaboration with Põhjala, offers a decadent sensory profile defined by its maturation in Wild Turkey and Heaven Hills bourbon barrels. The aroma is a rich tapestry of vanillin, toasted coconut, and dark honey, underpinned by a distinctively spicy rye malt character. On the palate, a lush, bready wheat base supports complex layers of caramel, dried apricots, and boozy oak. The substantial body is velvety and warming, balancing the grainy spiciness of the rye against the sweet, spirituous depth of the bourbon barrels for a sophisticated, lingering finish.

Appearance. Deep amber with garnet highlights and visible legs indicating high viscosity and alcohol content. Low, creamy, off-white head with moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent bready and honeyed wheat malt aromatics blended with the distinctive spicy graininess of rye. Strong barrel influence provides notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and bourbon. Low floral hop notes and moderate esters suggesting dried figs and dates.

Taste. Initial impression of rich, bready wheat malt accented by sharp rye spice and layers of caramel. The barrel aging contributes sweet bourbon notes and soft oak tannins. Bitterness is low to moderate, providing enough balance to keep the profile from being syrupy. The finish is long and warming with a persistent toasted grain and honeyed aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is low, enhancing the beer's creamy mouthfeel. Significant but smooth alcohol warmth is present.
