Is/Was + Goldfinger Rot Rustical (With Brettanomyces)

Rot Rustical is a true collaboration with our friends at Goldfinger. It was inspired by the fiery-red ‘Rotbier’ lagers of Bavaria. All of this wort was brewed at Goldfinger and was decocted twice, as is tradition for German lager. Goldfinger fermented half of the wort at their brewery with their house lager yeast but we drove half back to our brewery where we pitched our saison yeast, let it ferment hot, then cold conditioned it for an extended period of time. The resulting beer has unique notes of raisins, walnuts, freshly steeped black tea, dried cherries, toffee, gumballs, and dried elderflower. Bottle conditioned with Brettanomyces.
