Primitive Beer LLC Cursed Heirloom: Irish Whiskey
What the brewers say
“MT3 spontaneous beer aged an additional year in a single Irish whiskey barrel.”
What our panel thought
“Smoky phenols with black pepper and bread. Oak notes add spice to the light fruit sour character, as the barrel plays off the peppery yeast.”
What our editors thought
“Light smoked peach and toasted oak on the nose. The sip synthesizes common themes—spritzy stone fruit, warm and boozy citrus, soft wet-stone minerality, tight citrus acidity—pulled together in a beautiful package.”
