UNDULANT & IMPERMANENT
barrel-aged saison with maple-roasted carrots and spent fernet botanicals
6.5% ABV
Notes of homemade spiced granola, caramel red apple, Chinese five spice, and marigold flowers. Sour, spiced, and silky.
Undulant & Impermanent is a 6.5% ABV barrel-aged saison re-fermented with maple-roasted carrots and steeped on spent fernet botanicals from the fantastic beverage makers @RhineHall Distillery here in Chicago, IL. This beer is basically autumn in a bottle. A depth of toasty spice character—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—dominates the aroma. Undertones of cocoa powder, vanilla, cherry cola, and maple linger in the nose as well. The carrots are present but soft, reminiscent of roasted acorn squash or sweet potato casserole. The flavor offers more spice complexity, but it is well-integrated and isn't biting. Notes of Chinese five spice, homemade granola, caramel red apple, and marigold flowers are found on the palate. This is the second barrel-aged Keeping Together offering to be released—this beer drinks with a more intense and more angular acidity than the purely stainless steel beers IN THE KT PORTFOLIO, but still provides a balanced drinking experience with a medium body, creamy carbonation, and a silky finish. this beer feels like walking on crunchy leaves, drinking mulled cider, and doing spooky stuff with your friends.
