MCLEOD’S BREWERY BLACK RYE SOUR

This beer is one of the limited barrel-aged beers we released this year at Mcleod’s. A blend of several different barrels, the base beer was a dark, mixedferment saison aged in former Dog Point and Saint Clair pinot barrels. This was blended with some aged porter, saison and a special Four Roses bourbon barrel-aged Scotch ale.

It has a rich myriad of aromas and flavours. Distinct rye, oriental spice and chocolate with dried figs on the nose, even a hint of vanilla-laced bourbon... It drinks smooth with a balanced lemon-like acidity and long, malty, dry finish. Each sip reveals something new as it evolves in the glass. A wonderful beer to share with friends or to tuck away for a few years and enjoy later.
