La Calavera Bâtard Fruit
Fruit Beer 9.2 º
This complex Fruit Beer presents an evocative blend of a potent Belgian Strong Ale base with the vibrant tartness of raspberries and wild red fruit. Six months of maturation in Chardonnay and sweet wine barrels imbues the profile with sophisticated vinous tannins and nuanced notes of honeyed apricot and white grape. The high alcohol content delivers a noticeable but well-integrated warming presence, harmonizing with the spicy phenols and fruity esters typical of Belgian yeast. The red fruit addition provides a bright, acidic counterpoint to the deep malt foundation, while the barrel influence contributes a dry, oaky finish that elevates the overall elegance.
Appearance. SRM 14–18; deep amber to ruby-red hue with a slight haze from fruit solids. Pours with a moderate, pinkish-white head that shows fair retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromas of fresh raspberry and tart wild berries are layered over a vinous Chardonnay barrel character. Moderate Belgian yeast esters of pear and plum mingle with subtle peppery phenols. A soft, honey-like malt sweetness and a hint of oaky vanilla round out the bouquet.
Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, authentic raspberry tartness followed by a rich, toasted malt backbone. The mid-palate reveals complex esters and a spicy fermentation character typical of a Belgian Strong Ale. Hop bitterness is low, allowing the fruit acidity and barrel tannins to provide balance. The finish is long and drying, featuring lingering notes of red fruit skins and sweet wine oxidation.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a prickly sensation that cuts through the malt. A light tannic astringency from the fruit and oak aging adds structure without being harsh.
