Firestone Walker Brewing Company Terroir Cinq
Other Styles 9.1 º
Terroir Cinq is a sophisticated hybrid that bridges the gap between viticulture and wild fermentation. Utilizing Graciano grapes processed via carbonic maceration, it presents a vibrant, vinous character. The wild base beer provides a canvas of rustic Brettanomyces funk, while seven months in French oak maturation imparts elegant layers of vanilla and sweet baking spices. Expect a sensory journey defined by intense floral notes and deep red fruit, balanced by a soft, mildly tannic structure. Despite the high alcohol content, the finish remains remarkably dry and crisp, showcasing a mastery of barrel-aged complexity and local ingredient integration characteristic of the Terroir series.
Appearance. Deep ruby to garnet with a slight purple tint; pours with a thin, light-pink head that shows moderate to low retention; clarity is slightly hazy due to grape solids and wild yeast.
Aroma. High intensity; dominated by dark berry fruit, plum, and floral esters; significant French oak influence provides vanilla and clove-like sweet spices; moderate funk with notes of damp hay and earth; very low grainy malt and no hop aroma.
Taste. Initial wave of tart red fruit and grape must; the mid-palate reveals soft tannins and a subtle oak-derived vanilla sweetness; hop bitterness is low, allowing natural acidity and Brettanomyces character (leather, earth) to lead; malt is secondary, providing a light cracker backbone; finishes bone-dry with a lingering floral and spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate to high carbonation; notable alcohol warmth that is well-integrated; mild tannic astringency from the Graciano skins and French oak adds structure without harshness.
