Is it a wild ale, or is it a natural wine wearing a tuxedo? Boatrocker’s Foeder Jaune makes its triumphant third return, bridging the worlds of barrel-aged brewing and premium Victorian viticulture.

For this special release, Boatrocker took a complex wild base beer aged in their historic, 100+ year-old oak foeder and dosed it with a heavy percentage of Savagnin grape marc from their mates at Crittenden Estate Winery on the Mornington Peninsula. The result is a beautifully complex, lightly hazy yellow drop that drinks like a cross between a fine white wine and a French farmhouse cider. It balances a funky, rustic sourness with notes of ripe apricot, zesty lemon, and a bold grape presence. Supremely dry, quenching, and boasting a lively, champagne-like effervescence, this 9.2% ABV masterpiece is a sophisticated treat that absolutely demands to be poured into a flute.

Ramjet 2024

Rated consistently high on Untappd and Ratebeer (even taking out top 100 beers in the world, plus top beer in Australia). Ramjet is a true Aussie classic, the first of its kind to use locally distilled whisky barrels from STARWARD way back in 2013 as the storage vessel for a big imperial stout.

Released annually in Winter, the base beer rests in freshly emptied STARWARD Nova whisky casks for 6 months. During this time, the beer soaks up the whisky and some luscious wood flavours, resulting in a big, bold beer that is a reflection of the barrels' previous inhabitant, exquisite cask strength Nova. Then comes the malt, both sweet and roasty, with a depth of flavour added by the wood. Lastly, there is a lick of delicate red wine character which is what the casks were used for before the whisky went in. The 2024 vintage was aged in a majority of ex-American oak casks, which lends a delicious coconut and vanillin character.

 This beer will age superbly, up to 5 years or more, which will see further integration of the whisky, and a delicious rounding of character.

]]> 1287 Boat Rocker House Red 2022 https://thymetotasteemporium.au/product/boat-rocker-house-red-2022/ Fri, 13 Oct 2023 05:17:08 +0000 https://thymetotasteemporium.au/?post_type=product&p=773 This is the Boat Rocker Brewery House Red. Created using the Solera method which takes approximately 2/3 of the barrel for blending and then topping up the remainder of the barrel with fresh wort.  The Boat Rocker house culture has so many organisms in it now, it is consistently creating complex and delicious ales after 12 months.  This complexity only increases as it gets older, up to a certain point…then the acetic acid kicks in, which is essential for any Flanders red ale.
