This is a really delicious Belgian-style beer made with peach puree. Their website asks, "Can you taste the Chardonnay barrel ageing?" Honestly, I didn't really pay attention to the fact that it was Chardonnay barrel aged while I was drinking it, so no, I don't remember thinking it was really oaky or anything. It has the sweetness I'd expect from a Belgian, but was also lemony and kinda tangy and almost sour on the finish. In a good way! More peach aroma than actual taste. I think if you are not that enticed by the fact that it has peaches, you might still really enjoy Brainless. The alcohol was well-integrated, because it didn't taste really strong, but just really flavorful. This beer cost $11.99 retail for a 22 oz. bottle where I bought it (at a somewhat over-priced gourmet shop). I wish I had bought two instead of one so I could be drinking another one tonight with my beefy borscht that I've got stewing up on the stove right now. I love beets.
ABV 10.5%
