Sobremesa Vibes on Toast Bière de Garde

REGION: Kensington, VIC
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 6.7%

"The name 'bière de garde' roughly translates to 'beer for keeping', a reference to the old practice of brewing a stronger beer to store as provision for the warmer months of the year, when conditions were not as hospitable for brewing. Brewed with 100% Australian grown grains. Floor malted - Australian ale, munich & raw wheat from House of Malt (VIC). Australian flaked barley & a small percentage of chocolate malt. Lightly hopped w/ EKG (UK) & Tettnang (DE) to 16 IBU.

The aroma is very warm and comforting. Elements of cherry cola, burnt toffee & pinot noir. The palate is light but it carry's a gorgeous depth and richness with it. Spice, slightly burnt toast and port royal. There is a subtle acidity that drives the existing flavour components. This beer is very nostalgic for Hannah & I. Takes us back to a time in our youth of sipping jugs of raspberry and coke at the local pub with our families." - Casey Grieve
