Ebulon (2017)

This special-release bottle is based on historical recipes for a beer called ”ebulon" which was brewed with elderberries and aged in barrels, giving it rich stone fruit character and a complex oak finish. Our version was brewed with a single Maris Otter malt and Southern Illinois-grown elderberries, then aged with wild yeast in a barrel from Hickory Ridge Vineyards that previously held Norton wine.

We tucked away one keg of our elderberry strong ale from two years ago. Wild brettanomyces caught hold of this barrel and has spent two years melding with the tannic berries and caramel malt profile. Show Less
