Hibernata Hypsikerós
Hibernata Hypsikerós is an exuberant stock ale that blurs the line between beer and fine wine. Matured for over a year in natural red Burgundy oak barrels with wild yeast, it presents a complex, malt wine profile. The sensory experience is defined by deep, warming layers of dried stone fruits—specifically plum and dark cherry—intertwined with the structured tannins of French oak and natural red wine. While categorized as a Winter Seasonal Beer, its character leans toward the "Burgundy of the North," offering a vinous elegance. The high ABV is seamlessly integrated, providing a gentle heat that complements the subtle hop bitterness and lingering, woody finish.
Appearance. Deep ruby to mahogany brown with garnet highlights; clear to brilliant clarity. Displays a persistent, creamy off-white to tan head with light lacing.
Aroma. High intensity with dominant aromas of dried plum and black cherry. Rich, toasted malt provides a sturdy base for distinct vinous red wine notes and toasted oak. A subtle, earthy wild-yeast character adds complexity without overpowering the festive, warming fruit notes.
Taste. Initial impression is of rich, sweet malt and caramel, quickly evolving into a complex array of dried stone fruits. The mid-palate features red wine tartness and leather, balanced by supportive wood and hop tannins. Finishes long and satisfying with a clean, lingering warmth and a subtle, refined bitterness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, velvety texture and malty chewiness. Carbonation is moderate. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, alongside a mild tannic astringency from the oak aging.

"Hypsikerós is an exuberant and fresh stock ale that has been aged in an oak cask of Burgundy natural red wine for over a year with the help of wild yeasts. The result is a characterful 'barley wine' with a tight, warm, winding profile punctuated by distinct notes of dried stone fruit, wood and hop tannins and a subtle bitterness. The resemblance to wine here is rather indirect: Hypsikerós is partly similar in charater to Flanders red ales, which are known by local connoisseurs as the 'Burgundy of the North'."
