This Brett Beer showcases the intricate complexity of a 26-month maturation in Bordeaux barrels, melding vinous red wine character with deep wild funk. The Vic Secret hops provide a bright counterpoint of pineapple and passion fruit, though the extended aging has integrated these into a dried-fruit profile alongside layers of wet hay and aged leather. The palate is bone-dry and effervescent, where tannic oak meets a subtle, earthy funk. A delicate fruitiness persists, reminiscent of bruised stone fruit and tropical zest, finishing with a crisp, mineral snap and a lingering, elegant wood-derived dryness.

Appearance. Deep amber with subtle ruby highlights from the Bordeaux barrel maturation; slight haze with a thin, ivory head that dissipates quickly, leaving light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent funky notes of wet hay, horse blanket, and aged leather integrated with vinous red wine, vanilla-tinged oak, and fading tropical fruit notes of pineapple and passion fruit from the Vic Secret hops.

Taste. Initial flavors of tart pineapple and citrus zest give way to a complex mid-palate of earthy funk and toasted oak. Moderate vinous character with a hint of red grape skin; bitterness is low and integrated. Highly attenuated and bone-dry. Finish is crisp and lingering with a touch of tannic wood dryness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a prickly, high carbonation; subtle alcohol warmth is present but smooth. Light tannic astringency from the long wood aging adds structure without being harsh.
