Description: Of all our barrel-aged releases, this one certainly meditated the longest. By selecting barrels that had been aging for over a year, we were able to extract some of the very first beers brewed here at Bellwoods. Aided by the help of a veritable army of bugs, this blend of a sour, golden Tripel with a fruity, barrel-aged Quad is deliciously complex, showcasing leathery notes from Brettanomyces alongside cherry, red grape, and a muted tartness that offsets the residual sweetness. On one hand, Motley Cru is a culmination of our efforts over the first year of operation, on the other, it's just a perfect beer to sip and savour. Having gone through an initial fermentation, a fermentation with wild yeast, and refermentation in the bottle with champagne yeast, this beer is effectively triple fermented. Motley Cru is the first instalment in what will be an annual barrel-aged blend. The second of two beers released to commemorate our first anniversary.
