Perennial Artisan Ales - Devil's Heart of Gold

Devil's Heart of Gold wheatwine is built on a massive yet simple foundation of American two-row barley and white wheat. We boil the wort for 3-1/2 hours in our direct-fired kettle to allow Maillard reactions to develop, lending unique caramelized notes to the wort. It is then fermented with a classic English ale yeast in stainless steel before being laid to rest for 15 to 21 months in Rittenhouse Rye whiskey barrels. This process allows already decadent beer the opportunity to smooth and take on additional complexity from the oak. The result is a chestnut-hued beer of substantial strength with layers of toffee, maple, and vanilla. Serve cool, but allow the aromas and flavors to develop in the glass around 52-58F.
