BFM Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien Zymatore aged in Hill Rock Rye Barrels

Boldly treading the boundary between port, wine and beer, l’Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien is a unique ale aged in wooden casks which have been used for several years before to age Merlot, Merlot Cabernet, Whisky and then Grappa. It manages to merge into L’Abbaye all the complex aromas of a vintage red wine along with the delicate harmony and flavors of the wood and its former contents. This process requires close monitoring of the beer’s evolution. The final product is blended from different casks, to ensure optimal balance, complexity and enjoyment. This special Zymatore-series version has been further matured for over a year in Hill Rock Rye Whiskey barrels imparting complex notes of leather, oak, and a kiss of whiskey on the finish.
