Van Moll

Trapped In Amber is a luscious Wheatwine that marries bready wheat malt with the assertive, spicy character of rye. Aged in Jura whisky barrels, it presents an intricate sensory profile where honeyed caramel and toasted grain meet subtle peat smoke and sea-spray salinity. The high ABV is well-integrated, offering a velvety, full-bodied experience. Expect aromas of dried apricots and raisins alongside vanilla and oak tannins. The palate is dominated by rich malt complexity and a smooth, warming finish, reflecting the depth of the barrel treatment while maintaining the style's characteristic wheaty core and sophisticated spirit integration.

Appearance. Deep amber with garnet highlights (SRM 12-14). Low, creamy off-white head with modest retention. Brilliant clarity that showcases high viscosity through visible legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant bready wheat and spicy rye malt character complemented by honey and rich caramel. Distinctive Jura whisky notes of light peat smoke, vanilla, and weathered oak. Esters manifest as dried apricot and golden raisin. Very low earthy hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression of honeyed sweetness and toffee. Strong bready wheat flavor transitions into a spicy rye mid-palate. Low earthy hop flavor and moderate bitterness provide balance. Complex Jura barrel influence brings toasted oak, vanilla, and a hint of brine. Finishes with a lingering warmth and dried fruit notes.

Mouthfeel. Full body with a chewy, velvety, and luscious texture. Low carbonation. Noticeable, smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated. No significant astringency.
