Stone / Victory / Dogfish Head - Barrel-Aged Saison du Buff

Stone / Victory / Dogfish head - Saison du Buff

Here’s the latest packaging for the Stone Brewing NEW version of Saison du Buff.  This beer remains an ale brewed with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme and this version is aged in red and white wine barrels.  This 2017 Small Batch Series Batch No 01 beer will hit 9.3%-AbV and you’re looking at the 500ml bottle.  Here’s the commercial description from Stone:

We added 3 strains of Brettanomyces yeast to our iconic Saison du BUFF, and aged it in wine barrels for almost a year before bottling. Some typical Brettanomyces fermentation characteristics are present in the beer, with some cherry and tropical fruit like flavors and aromatics.  Oak notes and tannin add some body and mouthfeel to the beer. Herbal components of the beer are toned down after the extensive barrel aging.  Aftertaste has a hint of the classic Brettanomyces funk that adds complexity. This a great sipping beer for lovers of wine barrel aged Saisons that can be cellared and aged for years.
