Horse & Dragon Chateau Racquette Red Wine Barrel Aged Golden Strong Winter 2018

A flavorful golden ale was aged in cabernet and zinfandel barrels for several months, which imparted warm oak and rich red wine characteristics as the beer matured. The beer is a layered delight: pick out flavors of pear, apricot, cherry, white grape, honey, and dry oak, and then have a serious red wine retronasal experience. As the beer breathes and warms, new flavors open up. If you love beer that reminds you of wine but still tastes like delicious, tasty craft beer, sip along on this one, or pair it with your favorite cheeses and desserts. From our chateau to yours, cheers!
