Crossover Blendery Obsidian 2022
Other Styles 6.3 º
Obsidian 2022 presents a sophisticated intersection of wild fermentation and local fruit. This Brett Beer, built on a complex grain bill of malted barley, malted rye, malted oats, and raw wheat, offers a layered structural foundation. Spontaneously fermented and aged in neutral French oak, it exhibits a nuanced funk of wet hay and earth, perfectly integrated with the vinous depth of Ben Alder blackcurrants. The fruit provides a deep, dark berry vibrance that pierces through the rustic, spicy grain character. The influence of the oak lends a subtle tannic structure, rounding out a profile that is exceptionally dry, fruit-forward, and elegantly complex with a lingering, crisp finish.
Appearance. Deep ruby to dark purple-red with a soft, pink-tinged head of moderate retention. Noticeable haze is present due to the raw wheat and oats, though the beer retains a vibrant, saturated glow.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant notes of tart blackcurrant and dark skin fruits are layered over a farmhouse funk consisting of leather, horse blanket, and aged hay. A subtle spicy grain note from the rye and a faint vanillin oak presence emerge as the beer warms.
Taste. Assertive blackcurrant tartness leads the palate, followed by a rustic, grainy mid-palate featuring the earthy spice of rye. The fermentation character provides a dry, leathery complexity without being overwhelming. Hop bitterness is very low, allowing the fruit's natural acidity and oak tannins to provide balance. The finish is bone-dry and crisp.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, creamy texture from the oats and wheat. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a prickly sensation that cleanses the palate. Minimal alcohol warmth; light, fruit-derived astringency adds structure.
