Serving temperature

Serve this beer between 7°C and 10°C; stick it in the fridge for 90 minutes.

As ever, be wary of over-chilling your beer. More chill means less flavour. To learn more read my post on recommended serving temperatures.

Flavours to expect

This beer has been aged in barrels that once contained bourbon and rye whiskey. And there’s rye in the malts too of course, which should give it a deep red look and a snappy spicy taste. Expect complexity — that’s what brewers want when they stick stuff in barrels — and notes of maple and vanilla.

Food pairings

A beer like this should love bresaola or perhaps some spicy salami. If you want to go sweeter try a pud that involves pecans with rich caramel or toffee and perhaps a creamy vanilla element too.
