Damascene 2023

Process: A blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old golden ales brewed with malted barley and raw wheat. Spontaneously fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels. Refermented on Damascene damsons grown in Worcestershire.

Conditioning: Packaged with a small amount of priming sugar for natural carbonation in the bottle. We do not add yeast at this point, or at any point in the process. Bottles laid to rest on their sides and conditioned until release.

Tasting Notes: Deep, rich damson on the nose with hints of spice/almonds and wild fermentation. Juicy dark plum and berry on the palate, balanced by firm acidity and subtle tannins. Rounded oak character leads to a dry, elegant finish.

Ingredients: Malted barley, raw wheat, aged hops, damsons, water.
