Review of WeldWerks Brewing Co. Double Barrel 1910 Medianoche
When you come across a new beer, the first thing that hits you is the name. WeldWerks Brewing Co. sure does make it interesting with their Double Barrel 1910 Medianoche. At first glance, you’re instantly intrigued, questioning what this elaborate name might hint at and let me tell you, the product does not disappoint.
Brewer’s Description
From the horse’s mouth, so to speak, the brewers say this is a double-barrelled treat. It follows the technique executed by Old Forester® to craft their 1910 bourbon, with additional aging added into the mix to bring forth more flavors from the barrel. It follows the same process of the 2020 release, making it an anticipated treat for loyal followers of the brand. The beer boasts an aging period of 13 months in freshly emptied barrels that once stored 6-11-year-old Kentucky bourbon, and showcases a special round of finishing in Old Forester 1910 casks for an additional 10 months. After this elongated aging period in the two casks, the 1910 Medianoche unapologetically expresses notes of English toffee, toasted marshmallows, sweet tobacco, burnt caramel, and of course, vanilla.
Tasting Notes
Once you finally taste it, you are greeted with intense barrel flavors. You can discern the distinct taste notes of vanilla and coconut, which is then beautifully followed up with tastes of decadent fudge and an upfront alcoholic sweetness. There’s a compelling hint of almond and cherry that adds a delightful nuance. For any beer lover, the intriguing part here is how the barrel character really shines.
Editorial Thoughts
Now, let’s delve into what our editors thought about this intriguing brew. The first thing that hits you are these resounding low bass notes. It’s like a melody of char, 85 percent dark chocolate, and double espresso that hums through the nose. This melody continues into the sip, where tactful roast, polished to a gleaming obsidian sheen, supports the complex layers of burnt caramel. The beer makes a firm commitment to these flavors, holding nothing back and achieving an impressive finish.
Closing Thoughts
Ultimately, this review doesn’t just do justice to the product; it paints a picture rich with flavors and emotions, that you almost feel like you’re experiencing the beer firsthand. It’s an impressive brew, full of complex, varied flavors that work harmoniously to create a unique, decadent taste experience. A deserved 97/100 indeed!
