Beer Profile

Vlad

Vlad is a Belgian Golden Strong Ale aged extensively with Brettanomyces Brux and Clauss, imparting complex wild yeast character. The beer shows a pale golden hue with a lively effervescence. Aromas of bright citrus and spice mingle with subtle oak and earthy funk from fermentation and barrel aging. The extended maturation in virgin oak and finishing in bourbon barrels add layered notes of vanilla, toasted wood, and a gentle warmth. On the palate, Vlad balances a crisp, fruity malt backbone with tart, sour nuances and a dry, slightly tannic finish. This Belgian-style ale presents a complex interplay of sourness, oak influence, and Brett-driven funk.
