Deep Ellum Brewing Wealth & Taste
LOC: Dallas, Texas ABV: 10.5% | IBUS: 25 | SRM: N/A
What the brewer says
“This beer’s journey begins in new American oak barrels, matures in French chardonnay oak barrels, and finishes fermentation with Viognier white-wine grapes. The oak tones gambol with floral aromas, grapefruit, tastes of apricot, and subtle hops bitterness.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Moderate oak and vanilla up front with bit of peach hiding in the background. A touch of bready malt sweetness. Rich spicy phenols: clove, pepper, fenugreek (maple).” Flavor: “The flavor is bigger than the aroma with more vanilla. It comes together like a peach pie. Moderate sweetness that fades into a finish where there’s a bit of spice from the oak tannins and alcohol. A light Brett characteristic in the middle is super interesting and has a touch of horse blanket.” Overall: “Well-made beer where the barrel and the beer itself enhance each other. This beer was fun. The barrel notes of oak and vanilla blended well with the honey and fruit character of the Belgian golden ale.”
