Barrel aged beers have become increasingly popular in the craft beer fraternity and by beer aficionados the world over. Beer aged or served from wood is not a recent phenomenon by any means; beer was kept in wooden casks and vats until the advent of first aluminium and then stainless steel casks. The big difference between that and the barrel ageing technique is the use of barrels from another drinks industry to add different character to a type of beer, sherry, bourbon, scotch, rum, wine and other barrels have all been used to great effect. Part of the art of barrel ageing is creating beer that has both the character of the barrel and the character of the original beer.

We’ve melded together the character of a strong American ale, heavily toasted oak barrel and Rum to create a triumphantly aromatic and complex beer that suits contemplative drinking studying the myriad of overlaid flavours and aromas.

Our beer pours a deep ruby red with a lovely creamy fluffy head. Oak and deep toffee caramel dominate the aroma of this beer, there are hints of rum that promise further delights. On the palate this beer has a complex array of flavours, all at once it’s malty, has a strong vanilla and oak character and has a subtle sweet rum character that overarches the beer and holds it all together, delicious.

I like it. I am reasonably new to wine homebrewing and am in the experimentation phase. I'd previously got another twin lever corker of the sort commonly seen for sale on various websites. But this is a significant step up. Previously I had all issues with corks either not fully engaging or going too far in to be retrieved, depending on the geometry of the bottle neck. Once adjusted this gives really consistent results and I felt there was a bit more leverage that its competitor and it also clamps around the neck differently (it clamps around in a really unique sphincter-like way as well as resting on top) (do I get a prize for first ever appropriate use of the word "sphincter" in a review? :0)

Quite a nifty bit of kit

Used once so far and I quite like it. It's a fair old size and I think you'll get as many dry hops in here as you'd tastefully need for a 40 pint brew. The gauze is very fine which stopped any hop bits getting through for me, yet allowed the hop aroma to come through. Certainly a lot less hassle than fabric bags or stretching socks over the end of siphons. Perhaps a tad pricey but a good tool to have.

Struggling to taste any lemon...

This turned out ok and a bit more drinkable than the raspberry. I cheated a bit as I wasn't tempted by something that brews to 3% with a following wind so I did add 1kg light DME. I also dry-hopped with 30g Cascade I had left over from a previous brew. The result wasn't too bad but I wouldn't bother again. Significant other found it drinkable which was an unexpected bonus.
