Wild Mind - FBS: Barrel No. 1 (2018)

Forgotten Barrel Society Barrel No.1, is a barrel-fermented, barrel-aged saison that waited in that first barrel we filled for more than a year and a half. It is the first barrel we ever filled prior to opening doors to the public for the first time. Finally ready, this once-simple saison has a tantalizing nose of apricot, fresh-cut oak, and citrus and tastes even better with notes of red wine, apricot, light vanilla, and rustic funk. The Minnesota oak barrel from Kelvin Cooperage (a Tennessee distillery) provides a hint of oaky flavor to round out perhaps our most complex beer so far. Barrel No.1 is a well-balanced, tart saison that grew from its humble roots to become something truly special.
