Primitive Beer LLC Cursed Heirloom: Rye Whiskey

What the brewers say

“MT3 spontaneous beer aged an additional year in a single rye whiskey barrel.”

What our panel thought

“The aroma has almost a raw cereal–like quality that almost suggests a dry, funky rice wine. Light malty sour in the flavor with vinous notes and leather, then woody, spicy notes express as it warms.”

What our editors thought

“Smoked stone fruit and a bit of tire rubber offer a sweet-funky push-pull in the nose, but the fruit notes in the flavor run unchecked.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Primitive Beer LLC Cursed Heirloom: Irish Whiskey

“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.”

Jester King Brewery 2021 All-Texas SPON

“Pleasant lightly tart nose with some grassy hop character. Bright lemon dominates at the expense of subtle character. Hints of mushroom, musty cellar mid palate. Abrupt finish with hop bitterness.”

New Belgium Transatlantique Kriek

“Muted cherry nose followed by a subdued flavor with a gentle cherry note balanced by light acidity and a hint of tannin. The aftertaste is peppery and dry, with herbal fruit.”
