The power of aged goat’s cheese softened with the aromas and alcohol of beer that is aged in old wine barrels.
HISTORY
It could be defined as a joint venture of two friends: Juan Luis the cheesemaker and David the brewer. They are both artisans from Madrid. The idea came from this young artisan beer-brewer to soak an aged goat’s milk cheese in his 9% ‘Barley Wine’ beer in old wine barrels for a month.The result is impressive and unmatched.
TASTING NOTES
Of powerful and defining flavors where the added ingredient of beer is the one that confers its peculiar characteristic. Cheeses for all tastes and sensory demands: from aromatic to extreme flavors. In this case, it is advisable to pair the cheeses with non-conflicting drinks such as young sherries or half-length beers.
